About the Book: Spanning France to New York, this Danielle Steel novel follows three generations of women navigating love, convention, and independence. Marie-Aurelie builds an unconventional life outside traditional marriage, shaping the choices of her descendants. Her daughter Dominique, seeking to escape her mother’s shadow, faces her own romantic entanglements that ripple into her children’s diverging paths-one breaking free from an oppressive engagement, one clinging to a difficult marriage, and the youngest forging her own unconventional happiness. As past and future collide, each woman must decide whether to honor tradition or chart a new course for those she loves.
