A Mother’s Love is a powerful, gripping tale of a woman’s journey to confront the ghosts of her past, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Recently widowed Halley Holbrook has spent decades building a career as a bestselling novelist. The victim of an extremely traumatic childhood, something she revealed only to her beloved husband, and the memories of which she has since tried to bury. Halley is now in her fifties and the mother of twin daughters who, while extremely close to her, are both ready to lead their own lives.

Spending Christmas and New Year alone for the first time in years, Halley decides to go to Paris and rent a beautiful house for the holiday. On the flight she meets Bart Warner, a successful businessman. Both travelling alone, they agree to spend time together during her stay.

Soon after her arrival in Paris, Halley is the victim of a crime which leaves her feeling shaken and vulnerable, and brings back the awful memories of her childhood. With Bart’s help, she manages to overcome her feelings of helplessness and despair and is determined to do everything she can to help the police find the perpetrator–who it appears is part of an international syndicate and a wanted man.

As Halley proves to herself that she can face her past and no longer be controlled by threats and abuse, her most important lesson will be that she is deserving of love and she can handle whatever comes her way. She discovers that despite the abuse in her childhood, it has left her stronger than she ever knew.
