Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, but everything  changed on an April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic shattered her family  and her world forever. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle pours herself  into volunteer work, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course  of her life. But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will  soon bring grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed, and pursued by undeserved  scandal, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself  in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking  field hospital run by women, Annabelle finds her true calling, studying medicine  and saving lives. When the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris—now a doctor,  a mother, her past almost forgotten…until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the  world she had left behind. Filled with breathtaking images and historical detail,  Danielle Steel’s new novel introduces one of her most unique and fascinating characters:  Annabelle Worthington, a remarkable woman—a good woman—who triumphs against overwhelming  odds. More than compelling fiction, her story is a powerful celebration of life,  dignity, and courage—and a testament to the human will to survive.
