More and more I find myself at the end of my Street inside our local Department Store Ollies. In this store its a lot like Walmart but much cheaper. At times I’ve even found Homeschool Books for Charlie saving me money which is a Godsend.
There is Danielle Steel and Debbie Macomber books that I can purchase for less than even Half Price Books at time. This week while there walking around I picked up Danielle Steel’s The Good Fight for only $2.99 and no, it wasn’t a paperback book but a hardcover book making this the perfect Gift for all the readers on your Christmas Shopping List for readers.
The Good Fight
Against the electrifying backdrop of the 1960s, Danielle Steel unveils the gripping chronicle of a young woman discovering a passion for justice and of the unsung heroes she encounters on her quest to fight the good fight.
The daughter and granddaughter of prominent Manhattan lawyers, Meredith McKenzie is destined for the best of everything: top schools, elite Social circles, the perfect marriage. Spending her childhood in Germany as her father prosecutes Nazi War criminals at the Nuremberg trials, Meredith soaks up the conflict between good and evil as it plays out in real time.
When her family returns to the United States, she begins blazing her own trail, swimming against the tides, spurred on by her freethinking liberal grandfather, determined to become a lawyer despite her traditional, conservative father’s objections. She rebels against her parents’ expectations for her debutante ball and other conventions.
She forges a lifelong friendship with a young German Jewish woman whose family died in the concentration camps. And while her grandfather rises to the Supreme Court, Meredith enlists in the most pressing causes of her time, fighting for Civil Rights and an end to the Vietnam War.
From the bright morning of JFK’s inauguration, through the tumultuous years that follow as America hurtles toward the twin assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, Meredith joins the vanguard of a new generation of women, breaking boundaries Socially, politically, and professionally. But when the violence of the era strikes too close to home, her once tightly knit family must survive a devastating loss and rethink their own values and traditions in light of the times.
Encompassing the remarkable people Meredith meets, the historic events she witnesses, and the sacrifices she must make, this is the story of a woman changing her world as she herself is changed by it. Beautifully told, brimming with unforgettable moments and characters, The Good Fight is an inspiring, uplifting novel with resonance for our own time.
Danielle Steel has been hailed as one of the world’s most popular Authors, with nearly a billion copies of her novels sold. Her recent many international bestsellers include Against All Odds, The Duchess and The Right Time.
She is also the author of His Bright Light, the story of her son Nick Traina’s life and death; A Gift of Hope, a memoir of her work with the homeless; and the children’s books Pretty Minnie in Paris and Pretty Minnie in Hollywood. Danielle divides her time between Paris and her home in Northern California.
