Summary

In this blockbuster novel from Danielle Steel, two estranged sisters get the chance to connect again and right the wrongs of the past.

Melissa Henderson is leading a quiet life. Once a best-selling author, she now pours all her energy into renovating a Victorian house nestled in the foothills of rural New England. Six years ago, she lost her young son to cancer, and her marriage dissolved. She stopped writing. It was only when she bought the old house that Melissa found a purpose, and came alive as she made it beautiful again.

After a wildfire that threatens her home appears on the news, Melissa receives a call from her sister, Hattie. They were close once, but that was before Melissa withdrew from the world. Now Hattie, who became a nun at 25, is determined to help Melissa turn a new page, even if it means reopening one of the most painful chapters of her life.

At 16, a pregnant Melissa was sent to a gloomy convent in Ireland to have - and give up - her baby, to spare the family shame. All these years later, Hattie feels compelled to embark on a journey that will change both their lives forever, and track down the child Melissa gave up.

Finding Ashley is a masterpiece of contemporary drama and tells a gripping story of the strength of the human spirit to chase an impossible dream. It is the story of two strong, brave women turning wrenching loss into reconnection, and a family reunited after bringing dark secrets into the light.

Another great book with all it's twists and turns..the narrator was so good to...loved to relax and disappear into the story..and know DS books always end happily...a safety blanket in this crazy pandemic world.

Wrong narrator

Why chose a male narrator for a novel about, and told by, women.? Besides, his reading was stilted and lacked nuance.
This was my first Danielle Steel, and although the novel had a credible story to tell, it was utterly predictable. I kept waiting for some sinister twist, but I guess the author’s genre is not thrillers or psychological suspense, but a story about people with a feel-good conclusion
