Blue

This had to be one of my favorites. It had so much more in it than I would’ve ever expected. Could not put it down!

What a great book! Picked it up to read and couldn't put it down until the end...only 3 nights. I love Danielle Steele and have read almost ll her books......her books hit home!!!

Heat warming! Enjoyed this book. Recomend it!

Great story. Another book, Blue grown up, would be nice...

Nice to read one of her books that she didn't go on and on about how beautiful and rich the main character is!! I really enjoyed it. Get back in touch with real people's lives Danielle and write about that.

In Danielle Steel’s latest bestselling novel, Blue, former journalist Ginny Carter works in the trenches of some of the most dangerous hot spots on the planet, helping others as a human rights activist. She pays no heed to the danger she faces every moment of the day, much to the chagrin of her sister. Yet having suffered from so much personal loss herself, Ginny feels she has nothing left to lose, at least until the fateful night a 13-year-old homeless boy named Blue enters her life. As the two become friends, old wounds open and suddenly Ginny finds herself on a new crusade, one that could bring the entire world down on both of them and ultimately change both their lives forever. Danielle Steel is a writer who is as fearless as her heroine, and with Blue she proves that she is still at the top of her game as she deftly juggles tough topics other authors shy away from, including: grief, loss, dementia, child abuse, and homelessness, not to mention the myriad problems plaguing third world countries. But don’t let those topics deter you from picking up this book. As with all of Steel’s work, Blue resonates with hope, despite the dark subject matter. Most of all, this is a novel about forgiveness, redemption, and second chances, and it is is beautifully punctuated with the author’s trademark optimism, even in the face of tragedy. Readers will undoubtedly connect with this novel on multiple levels. Blue speaks to the humanitarian in each of us, particularly as Ginny strives to take on some of the largest problems facing mankind today. On a smaller scale, Ginny’s struggle to find balance between her career, family, and helping the very special child in her life is an equally precarious challenge most of us can identify with. These thematic layers is what makes Steel’s novel shine and is what brings her characters vividly to life, and you will surely find yourself cheering for each of them. A book that is tumultuous and heartbreaking, Blue is equally uplifting and inspiring. But perhaps Steel sums the theme of this novel up best when she writes, “Every day, good stuff and bad stuff happens to us. It’s what you do about it and how you handle it that matters. You just can’t let it break you. You have to keep fighting.” (300) Pick up a copy of Blue today. I promise you that it is one of the most heartfelt, inspiring, and ultimately rewarding reads of the year.

Couldn't put it down , so beautiful and human

I absolutely loved this book! It truly touched my heart. I couldn't put it down. Don't miss this one. It's fantastic!

The storyline was great! Thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but the grammar and punctuation had a lot to be desired; made it hard to read at times. If you need an editor, let me know.

Great book. Would recommend!
