Resumen del Editor

Hurricane Ophelia is bearing down on New York City. And in a matter of hours, six people, along with their families, friends, and millions of other New Yorkers living around them, will be caught up in the horrific flooding it unleashes.

Ellen Wharton has flown into New York from London, regardless of the weather and her husband's worry. The successful interior designer is intent on seeing her lively architect mother and has an important personal appointment to keep. But despite Ellen's urging, when the storm hits, seventy-four-year-old Grace Madison refuses to leave her Tribeca apartment in the midst of the evacuation zone, and they must eventually wade through chest-high water to the police boats outside.

British investment banker Charles Williams is traveling on business but is also eager to see his young daughters, who live with his beautiful, estranged ex-wife in SoHo. Desperate to find them, he checks the shelters where thousands have taken refuge and runs into Ellen and her mother.

Juliette Dubois, a dedicated ER doctor, fights to save lives when the generators at her hospital fail.

NYU students Peter Holbrook and Ben Weiss, living in a shabby downtown walkup, are excited by the adventure of the approaching hurricane, refuse to evacuate, and settle in with junk food and beer until their building threatens to collapse. Should they swim for it or not?

A day of chaos takes its toll. Lives, belongings, and loved ones are swept away. Heroes are revealed as the city and New Yorkers struggle to face a natural disaster of epic proportions. And then the real challenge begins, as the survivors face their futures, with damage to repair and scars to heal.

Danielle Steel fearlessly tackles a catastrophe and its aftermath with characters who are joined together by accident, then share their vulnerabilities, regrets, losses, and hopes. Keenly observed and brilliantly told, this is an unforgettable story that proves that while life can change in an instant, even the darkest storm can bring forth courage, resilience, unexpected joy, and new life. And it reminds us all that nature, at its fiercest, is a powerful force nothing and no one can resist.

was entertaining

Story started out exciting, couldn't wait to find out what happened. A little predictable at end.
Narration was excellent.

deja Vu

this story seemed like a rehash of several others I've read or seen the movie for.

great read

loved it as all things Danielle Steel! follows the Lives of the victims with great compassion

Fabulous story

The stories were engaging and entertaining. The way they flowed together was great and enjoyable.

Good, but not her best.

I always enjoy Danielle Steel. There are great moments here, but also some slow ones.

Rushing waters

Not one of her better books. I read the book, but I didn't like it.

Rushing Waters by Danielle Steel

loved it. I listened in the car and also when I had my meals besides going to bed at night.

Rushing Waters

A story of people caught up in a hurricane and how their lives changed because of what they went through.

Narrator

Although the narrator did a good job, it's difficult to listen to a man read a woman's voice. I can't get used to it.

great story, love Danielle Steele - a must read.

loved the storyline.. ironic that I was reading this during Hurricane Matthew. Very good book.
