I was going through my books the other day. I wanted to share a new addition inside our Christmas Gift Guide 25: Nine Lives A Novel by Danielle Steel (Author). I had read the book in the past but enjoyed the story so much I sat down to re-read the book. It was just as good the second time if not better.
Inside the story you will find grief, suspense, drama and so much more all in Nine Lives: A Novel. I will be letting my best friend Debbie Finney Sutton borrow Nine Lives: A Novel because I know she is going to love the story as much as I did.
Charlie said if you haven’t seen Nine Lives: A Novel you should check the book out as soon as possible so you can see the cool car on the cover. More than that you should see the Skyline it’s so pretty it calls to me to come outside and see if our Sky looks like this or not.
About the book:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman who longs to avoid risk at all costs learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.
After a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all costs.
Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie instead sought out all the things her mother had lost—a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.
Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent thirty years trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.
