Without a Trace

Product Information

Their connection is instant, and as she nurses him back to health, Charles begins to discover the passion he’s been missing for so many years. But his life changes forever as he drives along the Normandy coast, heading to their lavish château for the weekend.

I am pleased to say that this was a good one from her, and stories like these make me not want to wait for my next adventure with her. A thought-provoking and moving story of second chances and living your best life from the world’s favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel. In a world where money tends to dictate happiness, only by losing his prestige and name, does Charlie realize what's important. Danielle Steel has sold 650 million copies of her books internationally, and every one of her books is a bestseller.And get this-he lives and makes his way to a lovely little YOUNG french woman and makes love to her within several hours of her rescuing him.

After gathering the courage to climb to safety, he starts to walk—bruised, bloody, and desperate for help. But Aude has secrets of her own and before long their pasts catch up to them, threatening everything they have fought to build. I admit, I’m one of the few folks in my demographic (gender and geographical) that has never read a Danielle Steel book/story. In Without a Trace, Danielle Steel tells an irresistible story of the risks two people are willing to take in exchange for a second chance at the life they’ve always wanted. Feeling stuck in a stressful job and a loveless marriage, Charlie Vincent's life feels stagnate until turning upside down after a car crash.In the dark of night, he happens upon a cabin where he meets the kind and beautiful Aude Saint-Martin. One night, following yet another argument with his employer, he leaves the city and drives up the coast toward his chateau and a weekend spent entertaining his wife’s friends. Then, one night as the money-grubber is having a party in their fancy chateau, he falls asleep at the wheel as he is coming home and drives off of a cliff into the ocean. I started my journey with Steel last year, and with every book I was amazed with how much I loved how she wrote with ease, caught your attention in an instant, and held a story with twists and turns to the very end. On a trip from his office in Paris, to his château in Normandy, his car swerves off a cliff, and Charles and his car plunge into the ocean, far below the road.

What would you do if your life was unhappy and you had a chance to disappear and start your life all over again? But Aude has secrets of her own, and before long their pasts catch up to them, threatening everything they have fought to build. Steel needs to spend more energy writing one well-written solid story instead of releasing 8 or 9 in one year that aren't worth a toot. I try to be as fair as I can because I realize how hard it is to put a book out and let the world see a piece of your work.I've read about 80%, and while I'm still interested in how the greedy wife is going to take him to the cleaners during their divorce and just what is going to happen to the hottie and her escaped ex. The gist of the story- The husband hates his job, quits his career is out of work for two years and takes a loan from the money-grubbing wife's father. Without a Trace is a moving tale of second chances and creating a life worth living, from the billion copy bestseller, Danielle Steel. Fast paced, engrossing, suspenseful, and uplifting, it may even inspire you to choose happiness and make some much-needed changes in your own life.
