The Cast

By: Danielle Steel

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

Number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel follows a talented and creative woman as she launches her first television series, helping to recruit an unforgettable cast that will bring a dramatic family saga to the screen.

Kait Whittier has built her magazine column into a hugely respected read followed by fans across the country. She loves her work and adores her grown children, treasuring the time they spend together. But after two marriages she prefers to avoid the complications and uncertainties of a new love. Then, after a chance meeting with Zack Winter, a television producer visiting Manhattan from Los Angeles, everything changes.

Inspired by the true story of her own indomitable grandmother, Kait creates the story line for a TV series. And when she shares her work with Zack, he is impressed and decides to make this his next big-budget project. Within weeks, Kait is plunged into a colorful world of actors and industry pros who will bring her vision to life. A cool, competent director. An eccentric young screenwriter. A world-famous actress coping with private tragedy. A reclusive grand dame from Hollywood's Golden Age. A sizzling starlet whose ego outstrips her abilities. LA's latest "bad boy" actor, whose affairs are setting LA on fire. An unknown ingenue with outsize talent. And a rugged, legendary leading man.

As secrets are shared, the cast becomes a second family for Kait. But in the midst of a charmed year, she is suddenly forced to confront the greatest challenge a mother could ever know. The strength of women - between generations, and among friends, colleagues, and family - takes center stage in this irresistible novel, as all-too-real people find the courage to persevere in life's drama of heartbreak and joy.

Great Characters in this Book

Fell in love with the characters in the book and the way their lives intertwined. Love the main character.

Love amongst the Stars

I appreciated the detail that was given in this unique story. It's fun to learn what goes on behind the scenes. I especially appreciated all the relationships that transpired in the story...they were fascinating !

The dialogue was read in the tone I imagined it would be. I actually felt all the emotions.

At some point, it almost felt a little bit, more so in the beginning, the narration in general was just the slightest bit monotonous.

Fun!

after a bit of a slow start, I finally got into the story. it was comfortably predictable . a good choice for a summer read.

Good storyline

Nice smooth narration. Some smiles, some tears. I
Enjoyed the story and variety of characters.

Mostly Predictable but a good listen!

I haven't read a Danielle Steele book for at least a decade but I remember loving her style. This was a good, easy listen with a lesson or two thrown in for good measure.

great book wish the ending was longer.

I wish the ending lasted longer. I wanted to hear more about Kate and Nick's future. or honoring her daughter in some sort of way. like creating some type of charity in honor of Candace. but all in all the story was amazing. (as usual)

Loved it

very good read...kept me interested all the way through
Danielle at her finest. Loved it
