Publisher's summary

Ginny Carter was once a rising star in TV news, married to a top anchorman, with a three-year-old son and a full and happy life in Beverly Hills - until her whole world dissolved in a single instant on the freeway two days before Christmas. In the aftermath, she pieces her life back together and tries to find meaning in her existence as a human rights worker in the worst areas around the globe.

Then, on the anniversary of the fateful accident - and wrestling with the lure of death herself - she meets a boy who will cause her life to change forever yet again. Thirteen-year-old Blue Williams has been living on the streets, abandoned by his family, rarely attending school, and utterly alone. Following her instincts, Ginny reaches out to him. Leery of everyone, he runs from her again and again. But he always returns, and each time their friendship grows.

Blue glows with outsized spirit and an irresistible mix of innocence and wisdom beyond his years. Ginny offers him respect as they form an unusual bond and become the family they each lost. But just as Blue is truly beginning to trust her, she learns of a shocking betrayal that he has been hiding. Is it a wound too deep to heal, or will she be able to fight the battle that will make them both whole again?

Blue is number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel at her finest, a probing and emotionally gripping story of dark secrets revealed, second chances, and the power of love and courage to overcome life's greatest challenges.

Wonderful!

I enjoyed every word of this book. It's an amazing, heartwarming story in every way.

I love Alexander Cendese, but...

I find it funny that he's who was chosen to narrate this book, when it's told from the pov of a female! I mean, I could listen to him all day long, don't get me wrong, I just find it a little odd that they didn't use a female narrator.

This is another audio I grabbed during the half-price sale, not realizing it was an abridged version of the book, I have to say though, with this one I didn't mind. Of course I'm a little curious as to what was left out, but I feel like I got a full story. There were a few times that I thought there was probably more to the scene than I was getting, but it didn't affect my overall enjoyment. Except at the very end, I do think something pretty important may have been cut.

I felt so sad for Ginny and I'm so happy she and Blue found each other. I hated how life had treated Blue, it makes my heart ache to know that there are kids like him out on the streets.
I really hated certain family members in this book- I don't understand how people can act like they did. I know it happens all the time in the real world, and that just breaks my heart.
I kind of saw the "twist" coming, but I still enjoyed it- although "enjoyed" is kind of a weird word to use when it comes to that part of the book.

Blue was an entertaining and thought-provoking story.
