Happiness

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes an uplifting novel about an author who—to her surprise—inherits a grand estate near London.

Sabrina Brooks is a wildly successful, bestselling author of gripping thrillers. Unlike her fictional characters, Sabrina lives a quiet life in the Berkshire Mountains with her two beloved dogs. But behind this peaceful exterior is a dark, painful past. As a child raised by an emotionally distant father, Sabrina rarely felt love. And as an adult, her marriage twisted into an abusive relationship from which she had to escape.

Sabrina channeled that fear into her writing, and now she has everything she's ever wanted. Until the arrival of a mysterious letter disrupts it all, declaring that Sabrina, as the only living relative of her recently deceased uncle, is now the heir to his title and estate outside London. This shocking news forces her to cross the Atlantic and see the manor for herself, stirring up her father's past and the secrets he kept.

Determined to sell the estate quickly and return home, Sabrina is surprised by how much she loves roaming the gardens and exploring the historic manor. She can't help but admire her surroundings, especially with the handsome estate attorney, Grayson Abbot, acting as her tour guide. As she learns more about the family history, Sabrina begins to wonder what life would be like as "Lady Brooks," and if she could upend the stability she has worked so hard for. Is she brave enough to choose a different path?

In Happiness, Danielle Steel creates an unforgettable story about inner strength, following your joy, and the rejuvenating power of love.

great book

Enjoyed the detailed character development and the depiction of the places that were written about.

Wasn’t my favorite

I read every DS book. This one was just ok. Not great. Narrator is great as always.

Sappy

A little too sappy for my liking. Not enough fire in the characters. I feel DS rushed through this one.

Her happiness was most important

I related to a lot of the story, but I didn’t get that happy ending, at least not yet. But I’m a happiness seeker because it IS a choice like she said, AND a gift! Life is so much better when you’re happy.

Predictable and slow storyline

This book was slow and quite boring. I kept hoping that there would be a twist or a sudden turn of events, but was disappointed when that just didn’t happen.

Excellent as always

I love Danielle Steel another awesome book. Story lines were so vivid I felt I was right there in England with them

Good lessons

I have been reminded of some good lessons in happiness. One again a great plot and performance.

Really Great Book

Sabrina was rewarded for the bad childhood she lived. God turned the tables in her favor. It would be great if this was part of a series and a movie!

Happiness

While I enjoyed the story, it was not one of my favorites. I feel that so much more could have happened. It was a bit flat.

Thankfully, the lack of explicit sex.

Not horrible, but the narrator was a bit flat for me. I would have rather had a male AND a female narrator.
