Not a romance fan, I found this offering to have little romance but lots of entangling family drama with just a hint of Hollywood insider gossip to add interest. It is unabridged on 8 cassettes over 13.5 hours and read by J. R. Horne.
Danielle Steele always holds my attention, but this is one of my favorites....
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I am not really a Danielle Steel fan, but a friend gave me a copy and said I should read it and I couldn't put it down. I definately recommend it.
Not one of her best
Danielle Steele's usual style-heartworming with a little sorrow & a lot of rich characterizations. I got caught up in the sentiment & the well-woven story lines. Great read!
This is an excellent book,the first Danielle Steel book I've read, she is an excellent author, you'll have a hard time putting the book down.
In my opinion, Dannielle Steele is a good writer, but her books tend to be repetetive. This one, however is EXCELLENT! So good, that I almost hate to give it up! It pulls you into the plot so strongly that it is amost impossible to put it down!

Simon Steinberg, a major movie producer, and Blaire Scott, an award-winning television writer, are among the most respected couples in Hollywood. They have defied the cliches, keeping their marriage together for decades. Their children....Samantha, Scotte and Allegra...are successful and happy, but must face the challenges we fear for our own children as well.
As an attorney for the stars, twenty-nine-year-old Allegra Steinberg is used to negotiating major movie deals, and fielding phone calls at all hours of the day and night. But she has little time for a private life...until a chance encounter with a New York writer turns her life upside down. Suddenly, Allegra finds herself planning a wedding at her parents' Bel Air home.
As preparations begin for a September ceremony, surprise announcements and ever-increasing anxiety bring out the best and worst in everyone. But as couples in each generation of the Steinberg family struggle with broken vows and new hopes, the real meaning of Allegra's wedding emerges. For the bride, the ceremony is a bridge between her past and her future. For her parents, it is a reminder of the bond that holds them all together. And for both families it is an opportunity for reconciliation, and new hope.

Good story, I liked it.
Beautiful, brainy lawyer Allegra Steinberg's life is one drama after another--once she gets rid of her boyfriend, philandering dullard Brandon Edwards. Her clients are superstar musicians and actors who phone her at 2 a.m. because they've fallen in love or gotten arrested or think they're being stalked. Her family are superstars, too: Mom is TV director Blaire Scott, Daddy is Golden Globe humanitarian-of-the-year producer Simon Steinberg, and then there's her 17-year-old sister, Sam, a leggy model whose pregnancy throws everyone for a loop. Steel's characters are already over-the-top, but leave it to this clever megaselling author to throw not one but three weddings into the mix. Movie stars Carmen Conners and Alan Carr elope, wig-and-polyester-style, in Las Vegas, and Sam secretly marries Jimmy Mazzoleri, who isn't the father of her baby. The centerpiece of the tale, however, is the big one, complete with an odious wedding planner, for Allegra and Jeff Hamilton, a gorgeous, soulful New York writer. Although Steel's prose is predictable, no one can gainsay her charitable heart. On the far side of tears and melodrama, everyone in the cast is redeemed and paired off--even Jeff's anti-Semitic mother and Allegra's sociopathic biological father, who richly deserve one another.
