One Day at a Time

Coco Barrington ist Spross einer legendären Hollywood-Familie und trägt schwer an diesem Erbe. Während ihre Schwester Jane als erfolgreiche Filmproduzentin arbeitet und ihre verwitwete Mutter als Bestseller-Autorin brilliert, ist Coco das schwarze Schaf der Familie: Sie hat ihr Studium abgebrochen und führt nun Hunde Gassi. Dem Leben im Scheinwerferlicht und der Familie entflohen, sagt sie nur zögernd zu, als sie das luxuriöse Heim ihrer Schwester hüten soll. Doch im Haus wartet ein unerwarteter Gast: Leslie Baxter, ein verwegener, britischer Schauspieler. Obwohl sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, fangen sie sofort Feuer. Und plötzlich beginnt Coco die Dinge anders zu sehen ... Ein Roman, der die Familie feiert und eine Geschichte von drei unterschiedlichen Paaren, die leben, lieben, lachen, kämpfen ... und überleben.

Klappentext:

Danielle Steel celebrates families of every stripe in her compelling novel-a tale of three very different couples who struggle and survive, love, laugh, and learn to take life . . .

Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family. Her mother, Florence, is a mega-bestselling author. Her sister, Jane, is one of Hollywood\'s top producers and has lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years in a solid, loving relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. But Coco, a law-school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for an artsy Northern California beach town.

When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit for Jane, she discovers an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who\'s fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn\'t be more different. The attraction couldn\'t be more immediate. And as Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood\'s hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed-some traditional, some not so traditional, but all bonded by love.

With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel\'s novel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. Funny, sexy, and wise, One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought-provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.
