Silent Night

I loved this book. The relationship between Whitney and her niece, 9 year old Emma after her mother was killed in an auto accident, is very interesting. Emma was a talented child actor and her mother, Paige, was her manager. Now with no other living relatives, Emma and Whitney must learn how to be a family. Whitney loved her niece, but loved her independent life and never wanted to marry or have children. Now she has an angry child with a severe head injury who only wants her mother. As Emma begins to regain her memory, the two learn, through many trials and tribulations, to love and trust each other and become a family.

Great characters,could brilliantly make us to be positive and brave to confront difficulties in life.The author gives the path throughout the story. Never give up on difficult situations. Highly recommend.👵👵👀📚📖📖👍🏻👏🥰

As always Danielle delivers a great story with some twists you don’t see coming.

Silent Night by Danielle Steel takes us to Los Angeles, California. Emma Watts is a nine year old who is the youngest cast member of the hit TV show The Clan. Emma is an intelligent child with a charming personality and a bright future ahead of her. Paige Watts is the driving force behind Emma’s career. On their way home one evening, Paige and Emma are running late for appointment with Emma’s drama coach when a terrible tragedy occurs. Dr. Whitney Watts, Emma’s aunt, rushes back to Los Angeles from Italy to be with Emma. Whitney became a psychologist after growing up in the shadow of her famous actress mother and agent father. She has never desired to marry or have children. Whitney now finds herself responsible for her niece who awakens from a coma with no memory plus she cannot hear or speak. Emma has a long road ahead of her if she is to recover from a traumatic brain injury. Whitney, with the assistance of dedicated doctors, teachers and a nurse, hopes to help Emma regain what she has lost and go forward to a bright, fulfilling future. Silent Night is a poignant story. We get to see tragic events unfold when a person is careless with their own and a loved one’s safety while operating a car. I thought Silent Night was well-written and engaging. I sat down and read this story straight through (I wen to bed late even for me). The book had steady pacing with smooth transitions between sections. There are good, relatable characters in the story. We see how life can change in a moment and families are messy. I found Silent Night to be an emotional and heartbreaking story. We get to experience the grief Whitney and Emma go through along with handling Emma’s injury. There is good information on traumatic brain injuries in the book. Danielle Steel related the details in an easy to understand way which I appreciated. Emma’s journey is difficult as she tries to relearn all that she has lost. It is nice to see the characters grow as individuals and see this one event change the course of their lives. I like that the author provided an epilogue that nicely wrapped up the book. Silent Night is a story that will touch your heart.
