Candy - it's the only the name she needs - is blazing
her way through Paris, New York and Tokyo as fashion's
latest international supermodel...Her sister, Tammy, has
a job producing the most successful hit show on TV, and
a home she loves in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills...In New
York, oldest sister Sabrina is an ambitious young
lawyer, while Annie is an American artist in Florence,
living for her art...On one Fourth of July weekend, as
they do every year, the four sisters come home to
Connecticut for their family's annual gathering. But
before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their
world is utterly changed. Suddenly, four sisters who
have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives
- on opposite sides of the world - come together to
share one New York brownstone, to support each other and
their father, and to pick up the pieces while one sister
struggles to heal her shattered body and soul.Thus
begins an unscripted chapter of their lives, as a
bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs,
laughter, tears, friends, men...and the kind of honesty
and unconditional love only sisters can provide.But as
the four women settle in, each is forced to confront the
direction of their respective lives. As the year passes
and another July Fourth approaches, a season of grief
and change gives way to new beginnings as a family comes
together to savour its blessings and a future filled
with unexpected gifts, surprises, and ultimately, hope.
With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel
tells a compelling story of four sisters who love and
laugh, struggle and triumph...and are irrevocably woven
into the fabric of each other's lives. Brilliantly
blending humour and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful
message about the fragility - and the wonder - of
life. |
