On a warm May night in San Francisco, the Ritz-Carlton ballroom shimmers with crystal and silver as a glittering, celebrity-studded crowd gathers for a charity dinner dance. The evening is perfect?until, just minutes before midnight, the room begins to sway. Glass shatters. And as the lights go out, people begin to scream?.

In the earthquake?s aftermath, the lives of four strangers will converge.? Sarah Sloane, the beautiful wife of a financial whiz, watches her perfect world fall to pieces?. Grammy-winning singer Melanie Free, the event?s headliner, comes to a turning point in her life and career?. Photographer Everett Carson, a former war correspondent whose personal demons have demoted him to covering society parties, finds new purpose amid the carnage?and Sister Maggie Kent, a nun who normally works in jeans and high-tops with the homeless, searches through the rubble?and knows instantly that there is much work to be done?.

As the city staggers back to life, a chain reaction of extraordinary events will touch each of the survivors.? For Sarah, it begins with the discovery of a crime and a betrayal, then a strength she never knew she had. For Melanie, volunteering at a refugee camp will open new worlds of possibility. And Everett will be shaken by the unlikely relationship he forges with Maggie, who helps him rebuild his shattered life?and upends her own in the process. But as a year passes, and the anniversary of the earthquake approaches, more surprises are in store?as each discovers the unexpected gifts in a tragedy?s wake?and the amazing grace of new beginnings.

Throughout these enthralling pages, Danielle Steel creates a stunning array of contrasts?from the dazzle of a society benefit to the chaos of a makeshift hospital, from the pampered lives of rock stars to the quiet heroism of emergency volunteers. It is her most powerful and life-affirming novel to date.

Wow..!

I must admit, being a big Danielle Steele fan, I have been disappointed in her last few books. But Amazing Grace is a real hit! I couldn't put it down! I read it in two days. She doesnt repeat herself all the time in this book as she does in previous books. It's solid story from cover to cover. I highly recommend the book!

Likeable Characters- Good Storyline

Enjoyable book. If you enjoy this genre, without expecting great literature, then you will like this book. I like soap operas and JD Robb- if that provides any indication of taste. If you want believeable and realistic, or classic literature, skip this one and many others of its ilk.

A Pleasent Read

On a night that should be perfect and Earthquake shakes the city of San Francisco and the lives of three women who are successful but somewhat unfulfilled. Sarah Sloan, Melanie Free and Maggie Kent are sent on a new journey after the rubble settles in the city. All three of their lives are turned upside down and they have to face things that they never thought possible. Each looking for a way to live life with Amazing Grace.

As a long time fan of Ms. Steele, I found this read pleasant but not as endearing as some of her other titles. Amazing Grace delves into three very different woman in three very different places in their lives. The way they deal with tragedy, life altering circumstances are by turns inspiring and almost predictable. As I stated before this is a nice read but if you are looking for an emotional heart tugging read you may find yourself a little let down here.
