Media Reviews
There's just no stopping Danielle Steel; with over 450m copies of her books sold, it is fair to say she is one of the world's most popular and successful writers - and this, her 52nd novel, will not fail to satisfy her legions of international fans. Leap of Faith is about the life of Marie-Ange Hawkins from childhood to motherhood. Born to a French mother and American father, her idyllic childhood in France comes to an abrupt and tragic end when she is orphaned aged 11. Sent to live with a mean-spirited great aunt on a farm in Iowa, Marie-Ange spends the next 10 years of her life very much alone - except for the friendship of local boy Billy Parker. Marie-Ange dreams of returning to France, a dream that becomes reality when at 21 she learns of the substantial trust fund left to her by her parents. She immediately visits the childhood home where she once lived - Ch teau de Marmouton, and falls in love with and marries its present occupier Comte Bernard de Beauchamp, 20 years her senior. Children soon follow and once again Marie-Ange's life is filled with happiness - until a mysterious woman from Bernard's past warns that he is a dangerous and evil man, and her life almost turns to tragedy once again. A powerful novel about lies and betrayal.
