Danielle Steel CD Collection 2: A Good Woman, One Day at a Time

A Good Woman

Born into a life of privilege, nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington's world was forever changed on an April day in 1912 when the sinking of the Titanic altered her family. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle poured herself into volunteer work, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life.

However, Annabelle's first love and seemingly idyllic marriage soon brought grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed and pursued by undeserved scandal, Annabelle fled New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women, Annabelle found her true calling, studying medicine and saving lives. And when the war ended, Annabelle began a new life in Paris, now a doctor and a mother, her past almost forgotten, until a fateful meeting opened her heart to the world she had left behind.

Finding strength in the most unlikely of friendships and pulling together the broken fragments of her life, Annabelle would return to New York one more time, a changed woman, a woman of substance, infused with life's experience, building a future filled with hope out of the rich soil of the past.

One Day at a Time

Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family, with her mother Florence as a mega-bestselling author and her sister Jane as one of Hollywood's top producers. Jane had lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years in a solid relationship, while Florence, widowed but still radiant, had just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. Coco, a law school dropout and the family black sheep, worked as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for the artsy northern California beach town of Bolinas.

When Coco reluctantly agreed to house-sit in Jane's luxurious home, she discovered an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different, but the attraction couldn't be more immediate.

Suddenly, Coco was seeing things differently: Leslie was not just a celebrity, but a single dad to an adorable six-year-old girl. Her mother was a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz were about to take the bravest plunge of all – into parenthood. As Coco contemplated a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, and as her mother and sister settled into their lives, old wounds were healed, and new families were formed, all bonded by love.

With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel explores love in all its guises, taking readers into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought-provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.
