From Danielle Steel comes a heartwarming and inspirational novel about a mother and daughter who face challenges, cope with celebrity, and overcome tragedy while maintaining the outward appearance of . . .
 
A PERFECT LIFE
The epitome of intelligence, high-powered energy, and grace, Blaise McCarthy is an icon in the world of television news, asking the tough questions and taking on the emotionally charged issues of world affairs and politics with courage and insight. A single mother, she manages her well-ordered career meticulously, always prepared on the air or interviewing world-renowned figures and heads of state. To her audience, Blaise seems to have it all. But privately, and off the set, there is another untold story she has kept hidden for years.
 
Blaise’s teenage daughter, Salima, was blinded by Type 1 diabetes in childhood, and her needs have kept her away in a year-round boarding school with full-time medical care and assistance ever since. When Salima’s school closes after a tragedy, Salima returns to her mother’s New York City apartment, and suddenly they face challenges they’ve never had to deal with before, and that Blaise feels ill-equipped to handle. A new caretaker provided by Salima’s school creates as many problems as he solves. Handsome, accomplished, thirty-two-year-old Simon Ward, with strong opinions on every topic, questions how mother and daughter view themselves and each other. Simon opens new doors for both of them and refuses to accept Salima’s physical limitations. He turns their world upside down, and the three become friends.
 
Then everything starts to unravel and Blaise can’t keep her two worlds separate anymore. A beautiful young anchorwoman is hired at the network; it is no secret that she is being groomed to take Blaise’s place. Her career as she has known it is threatened, and her previously well-ordered life feels totally out of control. For the first time, Blaise’s life is not perfect, but real.
 
In this unforgettable tale, the incomparable Danielle Steel has written a novel that pulsates with emotion and honesty as three people face the truth about themselves. A Perfect Life is about what we do when facades fall away and we can no longer run from the truth. As old ideas fail, everything changes, and life is suddenly brand-new.
Praise for A Perfect Life

Molto bello, mi è piaciuto davvero tanto.
Blaise, 47 anni, single con una figlia non vedente, una brillante carriera nel campo dell’informazione televisiva, è soprattutto una star che gira il mondo per intervistare personalità di primo piano. La sua vita, però, viene stravolta quando, per una tragedia, la scuola che si occupa a tempo pieno di sua figlia viene chiusa. Dovrà quindi dividere il suo appartamento con la figlia Salima e l’educatore, Simon Ward, mandato dall’istituto per occuparsi delle necessità della ragazza. Una convivenza che inizialmente non sarà così semplice, principalmente per lei, sempre abituata a vivere da sola e in funzione unicamente del suo lavoro. Grossi problemi le si presentano anche nell’ambiente lavorativo dove si troverà a dover lottare per mantenere la sua posizione presso il network che, nel frattempo, ha assunto una giovane anchorwoman che potrebbe sostituirla.
Nuovi rapporti da costruire nell’ambito familiare, un’imprevista attrazione per Simon, peraltro anche molto più giovane di lei, e una importante e difficile scelta che dovrà effettuare metteranno in discussione tutto il suo modo di vivere e quella che sembrava, sino ad allora, una vita perfetta.
Una storia avvincente e scritta con mestiere che riesce a coinvolgere e affascinare, un libro perfetto per passare qualche ora distensiva in pieno relax.

Danielle Steel is a good story teller, but after having read several of her books, I realized that they are all basically the same... and actually not very well written. Little dialogue, lots of description and background that's repeated through the book.

A celebrity mother and her blind daughter face the challenges of love, loyalty and family.

Somehow this lacked the typical Steele magic, and was repetative at times. Still a decent read. ( )
