Publisher's summary

Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, but everything changed on an April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic changed her family and her world forever. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle pours herself into volunteer work, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life.

But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will soon bring grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed, and pursued by undeserved scandal, Annabelle flees 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 finds her true calling, studying medicine and saving lives. When the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris - now a doctor, a mother, her past almost forgotten... Until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the world she had left behind.

Filled with breathtaking images and historical detail, Danielle Steel's novel introduces one of her most unique and fascinating characters: Annabelle Worthington, a remarkable woman - a good woman - who triumphs against overwhelming odds. More than compelling fiction, her story is a powerful celebration of life, dignity, and courage - and a testament to the human will to survive.

I did not want to stop

The story is typical of Danielle Steel' works. Evocative, emotional and real. I loved it.

Great story

This has been my favorite book. The one thing that would have made it even better would be if a female had been reading the female lines.

The Aftermath of the Titanic

A step into the past and a walk through some history. A well written story of the life of a young woman on the cusp of women breaking the roles that women were wrapped in by society in the early 1900s. A true trial of life and finding the courage to survive it.

A good one

I liked this book very much. It was a little slow, but liked it. It was an easy listen with some inspiration.

A Good Woman

It's been a long while since I read any Danielle Steele but I did not want this book to end. I really enjoyed the story. I had no idea where it was going but I just enjoyed the trip.

Great Story

I really loved this book. I think it was her very best. I couldn’t put it down as are many of her books. It is so real life that you can put yourself in it n feel the feeling that we’re felt by the people in it. Truly a great story.

perfection

when you begin reading, you struggle to find a place to stop before you are finished.

Liked the book but ended abruptly!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really liked the story. It just ended and I was waiting for more or a little resolve.

What about Jay O. Sanders’s performance did you like?

I got used to it, but not my favorite reader by far.
