It is a depressing issue that Ms. Steele tackles here so I wouldnt recommend it as a holiday read. Maybe when there is a storm outside and you are feeling pensive. This Danielle Steel novel was good but heart wrenching to read.

Casualties mount in the rear of the LMTV, as Denomy tries yet again to rescue the stranded platoon. For Young, this moment marks the beginning of a lifelong struggle, with far-reaching consequences, through which he’ll touch countless lives.
Gabriella is labelled 'strong' in this book because she overcame all the obstacles but I personally feel that it made her character weak & pathetic when she allowed people to kick her around. And then it ends with a happily ever after with Prince Charming. I've never read anything else by Danielle Steele, might have seen a movie or two, but she comes out with the big guns. Maybe I'll sit down one afternoon with another book, when I want to run the emotional gamut.

The rescuers finally punch through to the stranded platoon, but the battle hasn't finished taking its toll, both in Sadr City and at Fort Hood. Although hard to read at times, it's still a solid and deep story of one girl going through some of the worst-case moments in life, but having to come out in the end, face her past and becomes a strong young lady. I gave this book four stars because it has so much detail and brought the character so far, but it was the most agonizing heartbreaking story I’ve ever read.
This incredible book brought me to tears, and was one I promptly suggested for my sister. If anyone has suffered at the hand of an abusive parent, you'll immediately connect with this book. It tore my heart out, and gradually rebuilt it piece by piece as she told the story. I liked her writing style in this book but the characters weren't exactly well developed. I'm a Danielle Steel snob in that I read her a long time ago and grew out of her books. She went on to become a Postulant and didn't want to leave the convent.

You would not believe how many families have been displaced and how many families are still in a hotel. As her husband worked to retrain his brain and muscles to function again, the population of the family’s cramped mobile home swelled as her mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law arrived to assist with his recovery. For the six-member family, an entourage that also includes four cats, the new home will be a welcome improvement over the three-bedroom mobile home where they have lived and endured a series of health and financial challenges over the past three years. SOUTH DAYTONA — When Betsaida Fortier and her five children awake this Christmas morning, it likely will be within the walls of a new home, a milestone that eclipses anything else on their yuletide wish-list.

This is perhaps because you gain access to a massive library of on-demand content. This includes classic and current TV shows, movies, not to mention Hulu’s original programming. As far as live-streaming goes, you’ll have a ton of local, entertainment, and sports channels to flip through, including HGTV, a full suite of ESPN channels, Cartoon Network, FX, and even deep cuts like Nat Geographic and Syfy. I only ever read it once, and that was years ago, though the story is still completely and utterly memorable on my mind like I read it yesterday, so I guess that's a good thing. I have been meaning to buy my own copy, as my last one was my mothers that I read.
I think the last time a book gripped me this much was when I read "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. On that note, I don't think I have ever read a book that made me feel so angry, saddened, and hopeful many times throughout the whole story. It was riveting and left me feeling broken hearted for the poor girl who could never catch a break. I have NEVER teared up this much while reading a book in my life. Steele's writing made the characters feel so real, to the point where I actually HATED a handful of fictional characters!
To tell you honestly, I literally cried when I was reading this. Specifically the part where Gabriella's dad found her in her room unconscious surrounded by her pool of blood. I couldn't control my tears any longer, so I just let it shed.
