This past week David and I went to Half Price books for me to look for books by Michelle Major. Our local library didn’t have. As I was walking out the door, I noticed a book by Danielle Steel A Good Woman. I couldn’t remember reading A Good Women not only that the cover didn’t look familiar. I started to read the book jacket. As I did, I got caught up in the story and ended up purchasing A Good Woman.
This week while Charlie is working on his homework for homeschool I’ve been reading A Good Woman. The more I’ve gotten into the story I find myself thinking I might have read the book in the past. Which hasn’t kept me from re-reading the story and if you haven’t had the opportunity I hope you take the time to check out A Good Woman the story of a time long past.
FYI: my copy of A Good Woman must be older because there isn’t a woman on the cover of my book like the copy you can purchase on Amazon. I’mwondering if they’ve changed any of the story.
About:
Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, but everything changed on an April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic shattered her family and her world forever. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle pours herself into volunteer work, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life.
But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will soon bring grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed, and pursued by undeserved scandal, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women, Annabelle finds her true calling, studying medicine and saving lives. When the War ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris—now a doctor, a mother, her past almost forgotten…until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the world she had left behind.
Filled with breathtaking images and historical detail, Danielle Steel’s new novel introduces one of her most unique and fascinating characters: Annabelle Worthington, a remarkable woman—a good woman—who triumphs against overwhelming odds. More than compelling fiction, her story is a powerful celebration of life, dignity, and courage—and a testament to the human will to survive.
