About This Item
Synopsis
Young, innocent and strikingly beautiful Crystal Wyatt was an outcast, envied and resented by all but her devoted father, with whom she shared a deep love for their remote California ranch. When her father dies, Crystal is alone and unprotected. Devastating events shake the once peaceful valley. With nothing but her dreams, her beauty, and her awe-inspiring voice, Crystal escapes to embark on the career that will ultimately make her a star. But stardom itself is shadowed by danger and violence and haunted by a memory that must be resolved before Crystal can find happiness and peace.From the Paperback edition.
Reviews
I am a 67 year old man and this was my first Danielle Steel book. Out of curiousity I selected the book from my community library and began reading. I understand now why Steelis such an acclaimed author. I thought the book was a good read except for the final chapters where Crystal suddenly wins an Oscar, the Kennedy assasination, etc. That part was a bit compressed and hokey.
I normally read biographies but occasionally like a little fiction.
