The Devil's Daughter

By Danielle Steel

Book Overview

Two diametrically different sisters--one calculating and egotistical, the other honorable, kind and compassionate--clash in this compelling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Graduating magna cum laude from MIT is the happiest day of Billie Banks's life, although her family is not a part of it. Her mother, who always supported her, died when Billie was seventeen. Since then, her father has been slowly drinking himself to death on the family farm in Iowa, and she and her younger sister Mickie have grown even more estranged.

Growing up, the siblings could not have been more different. Billie was shy, small, bookish, more like their mother; tall, blonde Mickie was boldly sexual, craving attention, and lacking empathy for anyone, like their father. Despite Billie's attempts to look after Mickie following their mother's death, her sister consistently treated her with cruelty.

So when Mickie invites Billie to move in with her in Los Angeles, she is both wary and hopeful. Making a leap of faith, she joins her sister on the West Coast. While Mickie lands a questionable modeling job and falls in with a fast crowd, Billie begins working at a pathology lab and starts dating a warm, supportive reporter at the Los Angeles Times.

But then their difficult history once again rises to the surface.

This gripping story of a sisterly bond strained to the breaking point by narcissism and temptation is an unforgettable tale of good and evil from Danielle Steel.

Going Home

Book Description: In the sunswept beauty of San Francisco, Gillian Forrester is filled with joy of a love that will surely last. But a painful betray forces her to flee to New York and a new life. There she discovers an exciting new career and a deep, enveloping passion--only to have her newfound happiness shaken to its core. Now Gillian must choose between her future and her past to find in the deepest desires of her heart the one way, the only way of going home.

Loved it

I loved this story. I thought that she had excellent writing- starting with her first novel, Going Home. I just absolutely loved the story & the characters. Other earlier works of hers I enjoyed were: Season of Passion, The Promise, Passions Promise, Once in a Lifetime, Loving & Now & Forever.

A Wonderful Story

I loved the book very much. I have been reading Steel's books that she has written lately(1999-2002). I had been told that her earlier books were so much better so I decided to read one of the them. The story was hard to read sometimes because I became exasperated with Gillian letting a man treat her so badly. I kept waiting for her to turn on him and give him what he deserved. But, she hung in there in spite of his treatment towards her and she was happy. The ending was sad but moving.

Pure Gold

This book is the 2nd DS book and I loved it. Afew of my friends did not recommend it but I read it anyway, and I just could not put it down.

this book was inspiring, enlightening, and highly emotional.

This was the first book i read by Danielle Steel, and I enjoyed it from the first page to the last. I have read many other books by her, but this one was my favorite. I think that it is an easy read that goes by very quickly, yet it sends the reader a very deep message, that life is too short, and you should appreciate those who you love. After reading this novel, I was indeed sad, but happy that the author instilled in me a need to call all my loved ones and tell them what they mean to me. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who wants to experience a number of emotions all wrapped up together.
