Amelia Banning took home an Olympic gold at age 17. Now in her sixties, she is as limber and strong as ever, still on the ice every morning before sitting down at her desk for her second career of many years as a successful author.
Both her training and discipline as an athlete and her life experiences have made her resilient. She’s weathered the loss of her parents, her husband of many years, and adult children who have moved away. But when she also loses her trusted literary agent and beloved lifelong skating coach within weeks of each other, Amelia suddenly finds herself thrown off balance.
Into the void step two men. She immediately trusts attorney Ted York to help steer her career, but he hesitates due to an attraction to her that he hides out of concern that it is unprofessional. There is also the incredibly handsome agent Hunter Pope, who claims to admire her but at the same time criticizes her work in a way that begins to deeply shake her confidence.
Sequestering herself in a country house to write, Amelia slips out of the skating routine that has always steadied her, and the situation around her grows more ominous. Could someone be gaslighting her? She soon finds herself at a turning point more challenging than any so far.
Danielle Steel offers a moving and compelling portrait of a strong woman in a vulnerable place after the sudden loss of her closest circle, trying to determine the difference between friend and foe.
