How are you this afternoon? What have you been up to to this week? As for me I have been working here and there. I just purchased Against All Odds written by Danielle Steel which I plan on hiding in my room and reading. Would you like to join me with your book and favorite drink?
So it has been hard to work this morning as I want to hide in my room and finish reading Against All Odds. As I am about half way through it but I am trying to make Against All Odds last. So I keep telling myself to find something to do to stay busy so I don’t venture back into the bedroom.
Although tomorrow when we take the kids to Denton Water Works I might have to pack Against All Odds to take with me. Unless I take another book as I have plenty in this house.
Plus, I can always visit the library to check out some new books. I just don’t know it they would have any I want to read as I am so picky on what I chose. I only like a couple Authors and it seems I have read all of there books at this time. Which stinks and makes for a long boring Summer.
The wise, moving new novel from Danielle Steel, whose many #1 New York Times bestselling tales have made her one of America’s favorite authors
Taking chances is part of life, but when you bet your future against the odds, it’s a high-risk game. Kate Madison’s stylish resale shop has been a big SoHo success, supporting her and her four kids since her husband’s untimely death. Now they are grown and ready to forge lives of their own. And they all choose to play against the odds, to their mother’s dismay.
Isabelle, a dedicated attorney, is in line to make partner at her Wall Street firm when she falls for a client she represents in a criminal case. She tells herself she can make a life with him—but can she? Julie, a young designer, meets a man who seems too good to be true and falls under his spell. She marries him quickly, gives up her job, and moves to Los Angeles to be at his side—but is all what it seems? Justin is a struggling writer who pushes for children with his partner before they’re financially or emotionally ready. Will the strain on the relationship take too high a toll? And Willie, the youngest, a tech expert, makes a choice that shocks them all, with a woman twelve years older.
Kate—loving, supportive, and outspoken—can’t keep her children from playing against the odds. Can the odds be beaten? Not often—as her children have to learn for themselves. For Kate, the hardest lesson will be that she can’t protect the children she loves from the choices they make—but can only love them as they make them.
