Without a Trace
Danielle Steel
Book Description:
Charles Vincent seems to have it all—a beautiful wife, two
successful children, and a well-paying career. Yet happiness remains out of
reach. He is trapped in a loveless marriage and his job is simply a paycheck.
But his life changes forever one night as he drives along the Normandy coast,
heading to their lavish château for the weekend. In one terrifying moment,
Charles falls asleep at the wheel and veers off the road, plunging thirty feet
down the face of a rocky cliff.
Miraculously, Charles survives. After gathering the courage to climb to safety,
he starts to walk—bruised, bloody, and desperate for help. In the dark of
night, he happens upon a cabin where he meets the kind and beautiful Aude
Saint-Martin. They have an instant connection, and as she nurses him back to
health, Charles begins to discover the passion he’s been missing for so many
years.
In the aftermath of the crash, Charles has a startling realization: He doesn’t
have to go back. He could simply choose to disappear, to walk away from his old
life. When his car is discovered, he’ll be presumed dead, washed away at sea.
If he stays with Aude, he has a chance at a fuller, happier life that he didn’t
know was possible. It all seems too good to resist. But Aude has secrets of her
own, and before long their pasts catch up to them, threatening everything they
have fought to build.
What would happen if you were given a chance to walk away from everything in
your life and start over with a blank slate, and you had a split second to
decide? In Without a Trace, Danielle Steel tells an
irresistible story of the risks two people are willing to take in exchange for
a chance at the life they’ve always wanted.

My 5-Star Review:
What would you do if your life was unhappy and you had a
chance to disappear and start your life all over again? Charles Vincent learns
the answer to that question when his car slides over an ocean cliff into the
water. He survives, and finds his way to a country house where a lovely woman
takes him in and helps him heal. Charles hates his job, is unhappy in his cold
marriage, and wants nothing more than to move on in his life. Could this be his
chance to just disappear?
WITHOUT A TRACE by Danielle Steel is a page-turning story of
a man struggling to let go of his past life so he can finally be happy again
and move forward. As Charles and the new woman he’s fallen madly in love with
face devastating complications, the only truth is their love and devotion to
each other. And after all, isn’t that what everyone wants?
I highly recommend this exciting tale by the queen of
women’s fiction. This is one Danielle Steel story you won’t want to miss.
