Pernikahan dan karir Sam yg melesat membuat suasana jadi cerah, untuk tahu-tahu dibuat "jatuh" dengan peristiwa tak terduga......Pembunuhan. Solange dibunuh Sam, di depan anak-anaknya............... The only heart-breaking character was of Arthur. You hate him, you loathe him for not having been strong enough to care for the 3 girls. Sam Walker met Arthur Patterson in the midst of the mud and misery of the Italian campaign, and by the time World War II was over they were closer than brothers. Their friendship survives Arthur’s disastrous marriage and Sam’s multiple infidelities to a woman Arthur worshipped. Then, in a burst of seemingly inexplicable rage, Sam kills his wife and later commits suicide, leaving his three daughters destitute and homeless. Unable to provide for his friend’s offspring, Arthur allows the two younger children to be adopted and places the oldest, Hilary, in the care of Sam’s slovenly sister and her equally despicable husband.

[27] With just the turn of a kaleidoscope, your vision on life can shift, whether it be for the better or for the worse. I would recommend Danielle Steel's story; Kaleidoscope. Not only because it's full of love, tragedy, and determination showing how easy it is for life to change in an instant, but because conveys the idea that with enough persistence, you can make your way through any situation, and that's what I love about it. In 2002, Steel was decorated by the French government as an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, for her contributions to world culture. When a beautiful young Frenchwoman and a brilliant American actor meet in wartime Paris, their love begins like a fairy tale but ends in tragedy. Suddenly orphaned, their three children are cruelly separated. Megan, the baby, adopted by a family of comfortable means, becomes a doctor in the rural Appalachia. Alexandra, raised in lavish wealth, marries a powerful man whose pride is in his pedigree and who assumes that Alexandra is her parents' natural offspring. Neither of them has the remotest suspicion that she is adopted, or what turbulent tragedy lurks in her past. And Hilary, oldest of the Walker children, remembers them all, and the grief that tore them apart and cast them into separate lives. Feeling the loss throughout her life, and unable to find her sisters, she builds an extraordinary career and has no personal life.

In 2006 Steel reached an agreement with Elizabeth Arden to launch a new perfume, Danielle by Danielle Steel. Steel was born Danielle Fernandes Dominique Schuelein-Steel in New York City to a German father and a Portuguese mother.

Kaufman, David (May 7, 2011). "Danielle Steel". The Wall Street Journal. For much of her career, Danielle Steel was best known as a couture-clad San Francisco writer and society gal with a handful of husbands and a soccer-team's worth of kids. But the author—who has sold nearly 600million books—now lives mostly in Paris, happily husband-less...'San Francisco is a great city to raise children, but I was very happy to leave it. There's no style, nobody dresses up—you can't be chic there. It's all shorts and hiking boots and Tevas—it's as if everyone is dressed to go on a camping trip. I don't think people really care how they look there; and I look like a mess when I'm there, too.' She hopes to find it in helping others so she becomes a humanitarian aid worker.
