About this listen
Ginny Carter was once a rising star in TV news, married to a top anchorman, with a three-year-old son and a full and happy life in Beverly Hills - until her whole world dissolved in a single instant on the freeway two days before Christmas. In the aftermath, she pieces her life back together and tries to find meaning in her existence as a human rights worker in the worst areas around the globe.
Then, on the anniversary of the fateful accident - and wrestling with the lure of death herself - she meets a boy who will cause her life to change forever yet again. Thirteen-year-old Blue Williams has been living on the streets, abandoned by his family, rarely attending school, and utterly alone. Following her instincts, Ginny reaches out to him. Leery of everyone, he runs from her again and again. But he always returns, and each time, their friendship grows.
Blue glows with outsized spirit and an irresistible mix of innocence and wisdom beyond his years. Ginny offers him respect as they form an unusual bond and become the family they each lost. But just as Blue is truly beginning to trust her, she learns of a shocking betrayal that he has been hiding. Is it a wound too deep to heal, or will she be able to fight the battle that will make them both whole again?
Blue is number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel at her finest, a probing and emotionally gripping story of dark secrets revealed, second chances, and the power of love and courage to overcome life's greatest challenges.

Would you consider the audio edition of Blue to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version but it was one I couldn't stop listening to.What did you like best about this story?
The depth to the story and the characters and the fact that for those who have a humanitarian side to them, it offered hope to those who find themselves homeless that people won't be prejudicial about such circumstances.What does Alexander Cendese bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She brings the character's more to life and her diction enables a real sense of emotion to be felt.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Gosh, I'm afraid I haven't really thought about this, but perhaps something along the lines of: ' For every homeless person there is a story, a story that should be listened to...'Any additional comments?
I hope it makes some people sit up and think that, When they walk down a street and see a homeless person, that person who is homeless most likely hasn't decided to be so, but events in their life, probably out of their control, conspired to put them there. If as a human race we turn our backs all the time, just remember that with a flick of a switch the same can happen to anyone.Superb story with a real message behind it.
