Never Too Late

by Danielle Steel

This novel is about a woman, Kezia, recently widowed, starting over in a new place, new home and making new friends. I like this story as it's very true to life. It takes a lot of courage to move away from everything and everyone you know and begin again. Kezia shows us that it's not always a bad idea. Kezia does move closer to her adult daughters but finds her own way in life. It's a moving story and one you will enjoy.

Facing the president's declining health and a world war, Edith becomes indispensable to the president and the country. It's a fascinating story about a very strong woman and the role she played in the nation and to her husband.
