Audio Book (CD). Condition: Good. Unabridged. Product DescriptionThe restoration of a majestic old home provides the exhilarating backdrop for Danielle Steels 66th bestselling novel, the story of a young womans dream, an old mans gift, and the surprises that await us behind every closed door.Perched on a hill overlooking San Francisco, the house was magnificent, built in 1923 by a wealthy man for the woman he adored. For her and for this house, he would spare no expense and overlook no detail, from the endless marble floors to the glittering chandeliers. Almost a century later, with the once-grand house now in disrepair, a young woman walks through its empty rooms. Sarah Anderson, a perfectly sensible estate lawyer, is about to do something utterly out of character. An elderly client has died and left her two gifts. One is a generous inheritance. The other, a priceless message: to use his money for something wonderful, something daring. And in this old house, surrounded by crumbling grandeur, Sarah knows just what it is.A respected attorney and self-described workaholic, Sarah had always lived life by the book. With a steady, if sputtering, relationship and a tiny apartment that has suited her just fine, Sarah cannot explain the force that draws her to the mansion and its history-to the story of a woman who once lived in the house, then mysteriously left it, to a child who grew up there, and a drama that unfolded in war-torn Franceand to a history she never knew she had.Taking the biggest risk of her life, Sarah enlists the help of architect Jeff Parker, who shares Sarahs passion for bringing the exquisite old house back to life. As she and Jeff work to restore the homes every detail, as one relationship shatters and another begins, Sarah makes a series of powerful discoveries: about the true meaning of a dying mans last giftabout the extraordinary legacies that are passed from generation to generationand about a future shes only just beginning to imagine.In a novel of daring and hope, of embracing life and taking chances, Danielle Steel brilliantly captures one womans courageous choice to pour herself into a dream-and receive its gifts in return.From the Hardcover edition.About the AuthorDanielle Steel has been hailed as one of the worlds most popular authors, with over 530 million copies of her novels sold.

All rights reserved.Chapter OneSarah Anderson left her office at nine-thirty on a Tuesday morning in June for her ten o'clock appointment with Stanley Perlman. She hurried out of the building at One Market Plaza, stepped off the curb, and hailed a cab. It occurred to her, as it always did, that one of these days when she met with him, it would really be for the last time. He always said it was. She had begun to expect him to live forever, despite his protests, and in spite of the realities of time. Her law firm had handled his affairs for more than half a century. She had been his estate and tax attorney for the past three years. At thirty-eight, Sarah had been a partner of the firm for the past two years, and had inherited Stanley as a client when his previous attorney died.Stanley had outlived them all. He was ninety-eight years old. It was hard to believe sometimes. His mind was as sharp as it had ever been, he read voraciously, and he was well aware of every nuance and change in the current tax laws. He was a challenging and entertaining client. Stanley Perlman had been a genius in business all his life. The only thing that had changed over the years was that his body had betrayed him, but never once his mind. He was bedridden now, and had been for nearly seven years. Five nurses attended to him, three regularly in eight-hour shifts, two as.
