Viac o knihe

In her 39th best-selling novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of three college roommates—Mary Stuart, Tanya, and Zoe—who reunite after twenty years at a ranch in Wyoming. Once inseparable, they have since built separate lives, each finding success in their careers and new roles as mothers and wives. By chance, they each find themselves alone for a few weeks one summer, grappling with their pasts and presents. At the ranch, they seek courage, healing, and truth, but pretense now clouds their once-honest friendship. Mary Stuart, married to a Manhattan lawyer for twenty-two years, hides her loneliness behind volunteer work, haunted by guilt over her son’s death. Tanya, a rock star with fame and fortune, grapples with unfulfilled dreams of motherhood and relationships marred by exploitation. Dr. Zoe, a single mother and AIDS clinic doctor in San Francisco, is busy with her demanding career and her adopted two-year-old, but unexpected news forces her to reconsider her future. Despite their changed lives, the bond of friendship remains strong. Their time at the ranch serves as a catalyst for healing, allowing them to confront old wounds, reveal long-buried secrets, and either renew or replace love. Steel’s narrative explores the profound meaning of friendship through shared truths and personal dramas.
