Summary: As good as the "old" Danielle Steel books!
Comment: I used to read Danielle Steel years ago..her books were and are formula, of course. (Boy meets girl, Romance happens, trouble intervenes, trouble is resolved, happy ending). My former mother-in-law adores all of them and I send to her the audio tapes since at age 93 she can no longer read print. She gets much pleasure from the stories as I know thousands of women do.
The Palomino and Changes were two of my favorites. The plots and characters were so far removed from "normal" life that they were a great escape for me. I had to have my "fix" now and then. I stopped reading around the 45th book, I think.
Then I picked up this book mainly because of the title. It did resonate with me.
Faith Madison, a 47 year old woman trapped in a marriage with a man who no longer loves her, breaks away (her husband does her a favor and leaves her), goes back to law school, connects with her childhood friend, Brad Patterson, a Lawyer, and after many trials and tribulations, Faith and Brad finally begin their life together.
Part of the main character's story is my story. I believe one reads Ms. Steel knowing what she writes and not expecting great literature. I enjoyed the story...it gave to me what I was expecting to get from it... A happy ending and pleasure.
And if we receive from a book what we expect, then isn't it worth the time and the money spent?

Summary: Gentle and well paced
Comment: Granted, she writes to a formula - but its a very successful one and guaranteed to keep us entertained.
After raising her family, Faith wants to do something else with her life. Her husband is very successful but hardly ever home. When he is, he takes her for granted. When she mentions going to law school, he is violently opposed to it. One daughter (Eliose) agrees with him and the other (Zoe) sides with her mom.
At the funeral of her stepfather, she runs into a friend from childhood, Brad. Brad, Faith and her brother Jack (who is now deceased) were inseparable as children. Brad lives on the other coast with a very successful wife. He is a lawyer, but tends to want to defend the underdog which drives his wife, Pam, crazy.
What I liked about the book (formula or not) is the slow pace and the idea that childhood (friends and feelings) can be regained. As one who is moving back to my hometown again, I guess it was the right book at the right time. I hope it is for you too.

Summary: Hated it!!!
Comment: This has to be one of the worst written books I ever read. I can't believe there are so many ways to say the same thing. So far, Danielle Steel has found a way in the first third of this book. I just can't read the rest of it. Generally, if a book isn't very good I can suffer through. This one has gotten on my last nerve. I had stopped reading her books because they had become so predictable. But, I don't think I will be reading anymore of her books. It's an insult to Nora Roberts and Sandra Brown for her to be ranked with them.
