Publisher's summary

Taking chances is part of life, but when you bet your future against the odds, it's a high risk game. Kate Madison's stylish resale shop has been a big Soho success, supporting her and her four kids since her husband's untimely death. Now they are grown and ready to forge lives of their own. And they all choose to play against the odds, to their mother's dismay.

Isabelle, a dedicated attorney, is in line to make partner at her Wall Street firm, when she falls for a client she represents in a criminal case. She tells herself she can make a life with him - but can she?

Julie, a young designer, meets a man who seems too good to be true and falls under his spell. She marries him quickly, gives up her job, moves to LA to be at his side - but is all what it seems?

Justin is a struggling writer who pushes for children with his partner before they're financially or emotionally ready. Will the strain on the relationship take too high a toll?

And Willie, the youngest, a high tech expert, makes a choice that shocks them all, with a woman 15 years older.

Kate - loving, supportive and outspoken - can't keep her children from playing against the odds. Can the odds be beaten? Not often - as her children have to learn for themselves. For Kate, the hardest lesson will be that she can't protect the children she loves from the choices they make - but can only love them as they make them.

Stroggle

Stroggle to finishing and keep up with the story, with that many character to follow.

So real

Danielle Steele did not disappoint in this book. She covered everything that can happen in relationships.

Great read

Made me a little sad, but overall an awesome book. There seems to be a recurring theme in Danielle Steele’s novels.

Steel never disappoints

It was a great story of family and values that sometimes are never discussed. Toward the end I kind of had it figured out. Overall a great read

PREDICTABLE

VERY GOOD BOOK, BUT VERY PREDICTABLE ENDING. YOUR TYPICAL DANIELLE STEEL NOVEL. ENTERTAINING BUT DID NOT LEAVE YOUR FEELING - WOW.

Great story about family ties.

We loved it. My husband and I were taken in by the strong relationship between the characters. They are there for each other with every twist. Or are they listen to find out. I will be worth the read.

Odds are this one is really good...

This was a great story with good characters. The dynamics of the main character and her four children is touching. Their lives are not perfect by any stretch but their love for each other overcomes all the odds and trying circumstances of life.

Very realistic story

The narrator was excellent and his voice fit the character’s and was distinct enough to differentiate each character and brought the story to life.
Children grow up and get married and you pray for the best outcome with the choices they make and sometimes it’s the second time around that’s better than the first.
The pace was right on and the author and narrator worked perfectly together.
It actually seemed as though I was watching a movie as the flow was easy to understand from one chapter to the next. Loved it!
