Second Act

A Novel

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Michael Braun

In this gripping novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a top Hollywood executive seeks a new beginning when his career takes an unplanned turn.

As the head of a prestigious movie studio for nearly two decades, Andy Westfield has had every conceivable professional luxury: a stunning office on the forty-fourth floor, a loyal assistant who can all but read his mind, access to a private jet and company cars. The son of Hollywood royalty, Andy always put his career before his marriage, and now, besides his daughter and young grandchildren, it’s the only thing he truly loves.

But then Andy’s world is upended. The studio is sold, and the buyer’s son demands the top seat. Out of a job and humiliated, Andy spirals. When his head clears, he decides to get as far away from Los Angeles as possible until the dust settles and he can find a new way forward.

Andy signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home in a tiny, forgotten coastal town two hours from London. When he arrives, he hires a local woman to help get his affairs in order. A former journalist, Violet Smith is at a crossroads as well, and this temporary job is exactly what she needs to tide her over. But when Violet leaves the manuscript of her unfinished novel behind after work one day, Andy lets his curiosity get the best of him and is captivated by a story that begs to be adapted for the big screen. Could this be the miracle they’ve both been looking for?

In Second Act, Danielle Steel presents a heartening tale of how challenging times give way to opportunities and an original outline does not always contain the perfect ending.

Fabulous

Such a great story....I didn't want it to end! Loved the characters and storyline!

Loved it!!

Excellent story line and as always Danielle Steeles style of writing captured my imagination so much that I felt like I was in the story! I have been reading her works since I was a teenager and I’m in my late 40s now. She is my favorite writer

Wonderful Story!!

l loved it!!! I love all of Danielle Steel's book. I am always anxious for her next book. This one did not disappoint me at all. Can't wait for the next one.

It was fine

I enjoyed it! It is pretty typical of DS. Not hard to follow. Easy to listen to

life is too short, you never know what tomorrow will bring. Mo ey ND Power should Never be our God.

too much repeating of the samethings over and over again. Saying it once is enough

Another hit by Danielle.

I liked the story, however, I found it repetitive. She told there thoughts over and over.

Not up to her typical standards

This book was a tad bit disappointing, especially the character development. Lacked the pizzazz of her typical stories.

Inspiring

An excellent story about rebuilding your life after terrible losses. Well-written and great ending .
