Summary: The Emotional Book
Review: This book tells so many stories, but it leaves you with a thought of comfort, especially when knowing that a child has been through hell, and is going to still be sane. I recommend for anyone to read this book.Although I do believe that it is gearded towards more mature readers because of some of the material. This book can probably be described with one word and that is emotional.

Summary: One of my favorite Danielle Steele.
Review: This wasn't the typical Danielle Steele love story. The main characters struggles made it one of my favorite Danielle Steele books.

Summary: Too afraid to read
Review: I wanted to read this book, but after reading the excerpt, I could hardly stand it. It seems as though it's a good book, but I don't know if I could read through too much child abuse. Is the hitting a good portion of the book, or does it get past that?

Summary: Crying Tears
Review: It's very, very sad. But has a great ending. I would say read it right away. It's about a little girl that gets beaten by her mother. Her father ignores it. I can't tell you anymore or I will ruin it for you. 8-)

Summary: The Long Road Home
Review: Danielle Steel did a wonderful job on this book. It's a touching and heart-breaking story. Toward the middle, it got drawn out but I never wanted to put it down or stop reading. She added a perfect mixture of romance and suspense. One of Steel's better books.

Summary: A book to touch the heart.
Review: The best word to describe this book is that it was thoroughly "addictive". I just found myself struggling when I had to put my book down and anticipating my next free time so I could continue the other pages of the book. Before I knew it I had finished the whole book too fast. The author ingeniously created a character so inspiring in a young girl named Gabriella. There's something about reading about the trauma of the young child, tales of her horrific abuse will haunt every adult reading this book. This is a book that makes us ponder about the lives of other young children such as Gabriella, whose life has been scared by inhumane parents and the people who look and knows what is going on but decides to just look by the fences and not get their hands dirty. It is as if the book is screaming , "The people who choose to ignore what they see are equally as guilty , They are just as the cruel and sadistic parents!" Two thumbs up for such an emotionally charged story. A story that touches the core of our own humanity, and challenges us to reach out to the wounded. One of the best books Danielle Steel has written so far.
