: |
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, who 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 family black sheep, works as a dog
walker, having fled life in the spotlight for an artsy northern California beach town.
When Coca reluctantly agrees to house-sit for Jane, she discovers Jane's
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 new 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.

Praise and Reviews |

Her mother is Florence Flowers, a legendary
author known for shallow best sellers. Her late father was Bernard “Buzz” Barrington, a legendary
literary and dramatic agent. Her sister Jane is one of the top Hollywood producers of the past decade. With that DNA
Coco Barrington wonders where she went wrong as she rusticates in Bolinas in Northern
California as a dog walker far from “civilization” also called Los Angeles.
Jane and her significant other Lizzie are thinking of having a child. They ask Coco to dog and house sit for them; which she reluctantly
agrees. However, she thought she only had to deal with the lord of the manor
jack the dog; instead some guy named Leslie is hiding in her sister’s house
from a psychotic former girlfriend. As she and Leslie become acquainted, both
feel a deep attraction. However, she refuses anything Hollywood and he is renowned British actor
Leslie Baxter; then again his favorite beautiful companion is his six years old
daughter Chloe and her mom is dating a stud two plus decades younger than her.
This is an engaging contemporary fiction tale that at times the readers feels
they ride a merry go round as Coco’s doubts vs. her love keep going round and
round; Leslie is too nice a guy to have doubts especially if she loves him. The
support cast is solid as her two female relatives who at first seem nasty, but actually
are frustrated with her as they want Coco to
come out of her self inflicted exile. Die hard fans of Ms. Steel will enjoy ONE
DAY AT A TIME as Coco must learn to follow the
title credo if she is to have any chance at happiness.
