Cover Reveal - Against All Odds by Danielle Steel


A touching, masterful novel centered on the relationship challenges and triumphs of a long-widowed mother and her four adult children.
I previously read and reviewed Danielle Steel's "DANGEROUS GAMES" and now this wonderful writer is back with her second book of the year "AGAINST ALL ODDS"

Today I'm revealing the cover of this much awaited story dealing with the relationship between a mother and her four grown up children. Scroll to see the cover and the synopsis! Thanks to Pan Macmillan India for this opportunity!


Kate Madison's stylish second-hand clothing shop has been a huge success in New York, supporting her and her four kids since her husband's untimely death. Now her children have grown up and are ready to forge lives of their own. They all choose to play against the odds, much to their mother's dismay...

 Isabelle, a dedicated attorney, is in line to make partner to her Wall Street firm, when she falls for a client she represents in a criminal case. She tells herself she can make a life with him - but can she? Julie, a young designer, meets a man who seems too good to be true and falls under his spell. She marries him quickly, gives up her job, moves to LA to be at his side, ignoring the danger signs. Is all what it seems? Justin is a struggling writer who pushes for children with his partner before they're financially or emotionally ready. Will the strain on the relationship take too high a toll? Willie, the youngest, a tech expert, makes a choice that shocks them all, with a woman 15 years older...

 Kate, loving, supportive and outspoken - can't keep her children from playing against the odds. Can the odds be beaten? No matter how much she loves them, in the end, the risks are their own and the hardest lesson as a mother is that she can't protect them from the choices they make.
Also stay on the lookout for my review of this book!
