Happiness

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes an uplifting novel about an author who—to her surprise—inherits a grand estate near London.

Sabrina Brooks is a wildly successful, bestselling author of gripping thrillers. Unlike her fictional characters, Sabrina lives a quiet life in the Berkshire Mountains with her two beloved dogs. But behind this peaceful exterior is a dark, painful past. As a child raised by an emotionally distant father, Sabrina rarely felt love. And as an adult, her marriage twisted into an abusive relationship from which she had to escape.

Sabrina channeled that fear into her writing, and now she has everything she's ever wanted. Until the arrival of a mysterious letter disrupts it all, declaring that Sabrina, as the only living relative of her recently deceased uncle, is now the heir to his title and estate outside London. This shocking news forces her to cross the Atlantic and see the manor for herself, stirring up her father's past and the secrets he kept.

Determined to sell the estate quickly and return home, Sabrina is surprised by how much she loves roaming the gardens and exploring the historic manor. She can't help but admire her surroundings, especially with the handsome estate attorney, Grayson Abbot, acting as her tour guide. As she learns more about the family history, Sabrina begins to wonder what life would be like as "Lady Brooks," and if she could upend the stability she has worked so hard for. Is she brave enough to choose a different path?

In Happiness, Danielle Steel creates an unforgettable story about inner strength, following your joy, and the rejuvenating power of love.

great book

Enjoyed the detailed character development and the depiction of the places that were written about.

Wasn’t my favorite

I read every DS book. This one was just ok. Not great. Narrator is great as always.

Sappy

A little too sappy for my liking. Not enough fire in the characters. I feel DS rushed through this one.

Her happiness was most important

I related to a lot of the story, but I didn’t get that happy ending, at least not yet. But I’m a happiness seeker because it IS a choice like she said, AND a gift! Life is so much better when you’re happy.

Not her best!

This story moves slowly and is not very exciting, then it just abruptly ends! There could have been so much more story with these characters. Just not her best.

Believable characters

The ending was abrupt and not at all satisfying. However I did enjoy the storyline.

Loved it

I was on the edge with this book. I did not put it down... It's a must have.

The Title

I think it's one of my favorites from this Author. Danielle Steel is the ONLY Author that I read

????

Got boring! Was very wordy. Ended way too abruptly! Wasn’t my favorite Danielle Steele book.

Your happiness

One makes their own decisions in how they live their life. Your life is your happiness and what you make it.
