In this reprinting of Danielle Steel's novel Loving, Bettina Daniels is the pampered but underappreciated daughter of a famous author who dies and leaves her penniless. With nothing but her social skills and a fragile dream of writing a play, Bettina follows her heart into some of the potholes of life and loving. This coming-of-age story has all the basic ingredients of a standard Danielle Steel romance: wealthy men, beautiful but naive women, and the flying sparks that result when these characters mingle.
Bettina Daniels faces ill-fated choices with an alarming regularity that will keep the readers flipping the pages. Drop out of school? Care for an Electra complex? How about a rebound marriage? Bettina makes all the wrong decisions with the right amount of good intentions. It's hard not to be drawn into Steel's world of dramatic denouements. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
