Inhalt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? In this powerful novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of two World War II concentration camp survivors, the life they build together, and the son who faces struggles of his own as a first-generation American determined to be his own person and achieve success. When U.S. troops occupy Germany, friends Jakob and Emmanuelle are saved from the terrible fate of so many in the camps. With the help of sponsors, they make their way to New York. In order not to be separated, they allow their friendship to blossom into love and marriage, and start a new life on the Lower East Side, working at grueling, poorly paid jobs. Decades later, through talent, faith, fortune, and relentless hard work, Jakob has achieved success in the diamond business, invested in real estate in New York, and shown his son, Max, that America is truly the land of opportunity. Max is a rising star, a graduate of Harvard with friends among the wealthiest, most ambitious families in the world. And while his parents were thrown together by chance, Max chooses a perfect bride to start the perfect American family. An opulent society wedding. A honeymoon in Tahiti.

Inhalt: Johnny Peterson, ein begabter und allgemein beliebter 17-Jähriger, kommt bei einem Autounfall ums Leben. Als seine trauernde Mutter Alice schwer krank wird, begegnet sie ihrem Sohn im Traum und ein Wunder geschieht. Johnny ist 17, gut aussehend, sportlich und rundum glücklich, als er bei einem Autounfall ums Leben kommt. Der Vater verfällt daraufhin noch mehr dem Alkohol, der psychisch kranke kleine Sohn bricht gänzlich den Kontakt zur Umwelt ab, die Mutter erleidet einen Zusammenbruch - die Familie scheint zu zerbrechen. Da erscheint Johnny der Mutter als eine Art Schutzengel, der den "Auftrag" hat, alles in Ordnung zu bringen, alle in ein Leben ohne den Sohn und Bruder zu führen. Dass dieser kleine Roman der amerikanischen Erfolgsautorin erst 4 Jahre nach der Originalausgabe und dann zum Schnäppchenpreis erscheint, ist kein Zufall: Die Geschichte ist keins der Glanzwerke Steels, deutlich weniger komplex angelegt als ihre Bestseller - trotzdem gut lesbar und berührend. Doch die Autorin, die selbst durch einen Unfall einen Sohn verlor, erzählt eine emotionale Geschichte, die Hoffnung wecken kann, vielleicht auch ohne himmlische Hilfe und in weniger dramatischen Situationen. In diesem Sinne gern empfehlenswert.
