    Eugenia Ward has been taking care of her family and ex-husband for years, even after she left her job and started her own company. She is a big-name designer when it comes to evening and wedding gowns, but she is struggling with the economy during COVID. But, she still manages to take care of everyone and everything, including her daughter’s lavish wedding (that has gone over budget)!

    For one last break before the wedding madness and fashion week, Eugenia gathers the entire family (and significant others) together for a delightful holiday. However, Gloria’s fiancé causes quite the stir, Daphne is about ready to pop with twins, and everyone is on edge.

    The silver lining in it all may be meeting Patrick Hughes, a successful real estate developer who’s also going through a rough patch. When the two meet, they find that they can easily talk about life, family, and even business. They find an easy friendship that may turn into more (if either of them wants it).

    But as the wedding gets closer, tensions get higher, money gets tighter, and a hurricane may just ruin it all!

    Danielle Steel’s For Richer For Poorer is another great novel by a wonderful writer that will leave you wanting more!

    In Against All Odds by Danielle Steel, Kate Madison is determined to keep her family together. After losing her husband to cancer, she has four children to raise. So, she does what she has to. She relies on her mother, goes back to work, and eventually starts her own business, a resale shop.

    But as her children grow up, go to college, and move on with their lives, she is not quite ready to let them go.

    Isabelle is a hardworking lawyer determined to make partner. When she falls for her pro bono client in a criminal case, she can’t wait to begin a life with him.

    Julie is a clothing designer, though she doesn’t get any credit for her work. That being said, she is paid well for her designs and is happy doing what she loves. When she meets a man who seems too good to be true, she marries him, gives up her job, and follows him to Los Angeles, worrying her mother.

    Kate’s son Justin is a freelance writer with a dedicated partner. However, when they decide to start a family, she worries about their relationship and doesn’t think that they are quite ready for their new adventure.

    Her youngest son, Willie is a tech genius and a serial dater, never getting too serious. When he does find someone to become serious with, he shocks his entire family.

    Kate worries about all of her children, though she does her best to keep her thoughts to herself. She worries about both of her daughter’s marriages, as well as Justin and his partner. She worries about Willie settling down.

    She eventually learns that she will support them since she can’t protect them from making mistakes. Instead, she will be by their side every step of the way.

    This was a good book about a family who have each other’s backs, no matter what. No questions asked. You can’t go wrong with a Danielle Steel novel!
