NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Danielle Steel’s gripping new
novel, a reclusive woman opens up her home to her neighbors in the wake
of a devastating earthquake, setting off events that reveal secrets,
break relationships apart, and bring strangers together to forge
powerful new bonds.
Meredith White was one of Hollywood’s
most recognizable faces. But a personal tragedy cut her acting career
short and alienated her from her family. For the last fifteen years,
Meredith has been living alone in San Francisco with two trusted
caretakers. Then, on a muggy late summer day, a massive earthquake
strikes Northern California, plunging the Bay Area into chaos. Without a
moment’s hesitation, Meredith invites her stunned and shaken neighbors
into her mostly undamaged home as the recovery begins.
These
people did not even realize that movie star Meredith White was living on
their street. Now, they are sharing her mansion, as well as their most
closely kept secrets. Without the walls and privacy of their own homes,
one by one, new relationships are forged. For every neighbor there is a
story, from the doctor whose wife and children fear him, to the
beautiful young woman dating a dishonorable man, to the aspiring writer
caring for a famous blind musician.
In the heart of the crisis,
Meredith finds herself venturing back into the world. And thanks to the
suspicions and the dogged detective work of a disaster relief volunteer,
a former military officer named Charles, a shocking truth about her own
world is exposed. Suddenly Meredith sees her isolation, her estranged
family, and even her acting career in a whole new light.
Filled with powerful human dramas, Neighbors
is a penetrating look at how our world can be upended in a moment. In a
novel of unforgettable characters and stunning twists, acts of love and
courage become the most powerful forces of all.
