Going Home

Book Description: In the sunswept beauty of San Francisco, Gillian Forrester is filled with joy of a love that will surely last. But a painful betray forces her to flee to New York and a new life. There she discovers an exciting new career and a deep, enveloping passion--only to have her newfound happiness shaken to its core. Now Gillian must choose between her future and her past to find in the deepest desires of her heart the one way, the only way of going home.

I loved this story. I thought that she had excellent writing- starting with her first novel, Going Home. I just absolutely loved the story & the characters. Other earlier works of hers I enjoyed were: Season of Passion, The Promise, Passions Promise, Once in a Lifetime, Loving & Now & Forever.

I loved the book very much. I have been reading Steel's books that she has written lately(1999-2002). I had been told that her earlier books were so much better so I decided to read one of the them. The story was hard to read sometimes because I became exasperated with Gillian letting a man treat her so badly. I kept waiting for her to turn on him and give him what he deserved. But, she hung in there in spite of his treatment towards her and she was happy. The ending was sad but moving.

This book is the 2nd DS book and I loved it. Afew of my friends did not recommend it but I read it anyway, and I just could not put it down.

This was the first book i read by Danielle Steel, and I enjoyed it from the first page to the last. I have read many other books by her, but this one was my favorite. I think that it is an easy read that goes by very quickly, yet it sends the reader a very deep message, that life is too short, and you should appreciate those who you love. After reading this novel, I was indeed sad, but happy that the author instilled in me a need to call all my loved ones and tell them what they mean to me. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who wants to experience a number of emotions all wrapped up together.
