#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A renowned supermodel's world is
torn apart in an instant, sending her on an unexpected journey of
discovery in this masterful novel from Danielle Steel.
Veronique Vincent is a star. At age twenty-two, she is one of the most
sought-after models in fashion, gracing the covers of magazines and
walking the runways of haute couture shows across the globe. Yet,
despite being the consummate professional, Veronique wants little of the
glamorous life that modeling affords her. The beloved daughter of a
hardworking single mother, she has always preferred spending time at
home or with her kindhearted boyfriend to attending lavish parties. When
a quick getaway presents a welcome break on the heels of Paris Fashion
Week, and before a Vogue cover shoot in Tokyo, Veronique is thrilled,
eager to escape the mayhem of her busy schedule. Then, out of nowhere, a
tragic explosion at Zaventem Airport in Brussels changes her life
forever.
The ruthless terrorist attack has the entire world on edge. Veronique
finds herself hospitalized and alone, devastated to learn that the blast
has killed both of the people she loved most. She is also forced to
confront the harsh reality that she has been severely injured, her
famous appearance forever altered. As she plunges into seclusion, the
industry that once adored her believes her to have fallen off the map.
In truth, she is struggling to find herself again after losing
everything, and to discover what truly matters in life. But her mother's
will, accompanied by a letter Veronique never knew existed, reveals
long-held secrets, introducing her to a world she hadn't even known was
possible.
As Veronique forges bonds old and new, she begins to see a light beyond
the darkness she has come to inhabit, finding peace in opportunities to
help others, and redefining for herself what beauty is, and what it
truly means to be beautiful. Danielle Steel presents a story of one
woman's breathtaking perseverance in moving beyond tragedy to a life
more meaningful than she could ever have imagined.
