A world-renowned actress falls victim to a terrifying explosion in Paris?and begins a courageous journey of survival, memory, and self-discovery in Danielle Steel?s mesmerizing new novel.

Carole Barber has come to Paris, with its rain-slick slate roofs and winding streets, to work on her novel?and to find herself after a lifetime in the spotlight. A legend of film and stage, Carole has set a standard of beauty and grace, devoting herself to her family and causes around the world. But on this cool November evening, as her taxi speeds into a tunnel just past the Louvre, a fiery instant of terror shatters hundreds of lives?and leaves Carole alone, unconscious and unidentified in a Paris emergency room.

At the Ritz, they wonder where their famous, incognito guest has gone. From California to London, Carole?s friends and family begin to make inquiries. Then comes a moment of shock as they all realize that Carole is far from home and fighting for her life.

In the days that follow, the paparazzi swarm. A mysterious stranger, a man famous in his own realm, quietly visits the hospital to see the woman he once loved and never forgot. Carole?s two grown children rush to her bedside, waiting and praying?until the miraculous begins to happen.?But as a woman who the whole world knows slowly awakens, she knows nothing of herself. Every detail must be pieced back together?from a childhood in rural Mississippi to the early days of her career, from the unintentional hurt inflicted on her daughter to a fifteen year-old secret love affair that went tragically wrong. But for Carole an extraordinary opportunity has arisen in a life-threatening crisis: a second chance to count her blessings, heal wounded hearts, recapture lost love? and to live a life that will truly honor others?beginning with herself.

A tale of survival and dignity, of small miracles and big surprises, Honor Thyself creates an unforgettable portrait of a public figure whose hopes, fears, and heartbreaks are as real as our own. Her courageous journey inspires us all.

A page turner at Danielle Steele's best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book, it started good from the start . It continued on at a slower pace but you have to acquire a taste for the character and all involved . People who suffer from amnesia has to go through this process to try and remember stuff from their life , so i dont think it was repetive that she loved her ex husband like a brother , she just did not remember much details about her previous life with him . Overall it was a good summer read , and i enjoyed it during my vacation . I would still recommend Danielle Steele's novels . I am an avis fan of hers for over twenty years . Keep up the good work , and dont mind these negative reviewers they have personal issues .

So-so read, story line similar to many of her other books

I found the script to be reminiscent of the repetitiveness found in many of her other books. The book could have been easily abridged without the loss of any content. I noted many sentences that were incorrectly structured and/or contained poor grammar.
One of the themes in the book (very wealthy and important woman meets very wealthy and important married man)is recurrent. I find it rather disconcerting that in many of the books I have read, she seems to promote extra-marital relationships as healthy and normal (the fault resting on an unloving spouse, thus justifying the new, blissful relationship). I find it hard to identify with/sympathize with a woman who falls in love with a married man and is hurt when he won't leave his wife for her. I would like to see more books about "ordinary" "boy meets girl" who marry and stay married through sickness, financial difficulties, marriage problems, disasters... the stuff with which most of us can identify.
As a medical professional, I was incredulous with regards to the lack of accuracy in the details surrounding Carol's brain injury and recovery. They are not believable and are technically incorrect, such as the effects of an injury to the brain stem, the process of removing her from the ventilator (not "respirator" as it is referred to in the book), etc. The post-injury recovery time was very abbreviated and unrealistic. Maybe I am being too picky, but when I read books that incorporate medical conditions, I expect the author to do the required research and confer with appropriate medical professionals before including such detail into a book (especially when it is a primary focus).
I do not wish, however, to be totally negative in my review. I like the overall theme of examining one's life and relationships-past and present. I also think that the terrorist element is definitely relevant to this day and time and is something for everyone to contemplate.
