Kaleidoscope: An epic, unputdownable read from the worldwide bestseller

Product Information

Alexandra is extremely sweet, and could be anybody's small sister. She is the voice of reason among them and the only one who understands Hillary's pain and Megan's love for her father. She has an awful husband but gets through everything with her pride still intact and finds the love of her sisters again. With just the turn of a kaleidoscope, your vision on life can shift, whether it be for the better or for the worse. I would recommend Danielle Steel's story; Kaleidoscope. Not only because it's full of love, tragedy, and determination showing how easy it is for life to change in an instant, but because conveys the idea that with enough persistence, you can make your way through any situation, and that's what I love about it.

Steel was born Danielle Fernandes Dominique Schuelein-Steel in New York City to a German father and a Portuguese mother. Her father, John Schuelein-Steel, was a German-Jewish immigrant and a descendant of owners of Löwenbräu beer. Her mother, Norma da Camara Stone dos Reis, was the daughter of a Portuguese diplomat. [8] [9] [10] [11] She spent much of her childhood in France, [12] where from an early age she was included in her parents' dinner parties, giving her an opportunity to observe the habits and lives of the wealthy and famous. [10] Her parents divorced when she was eight, and she was raised primarily by her father, rarely seeing her mother. [8] At its core, Kaleidoscope follows a familiar pattern often found in Steel's works: a murder that sets in motion a series of events centered around loss and the unraveling of mysteries. The story revolves around two lovers who marry and start a family, only to be torn apart by a tragic misunderstanding. This heartbreaking incident results in the parents' untimely deaths and the subsequent separation of their children, each embarking on a distinct path in life.

In 2002, Steel was decorated by the French government as an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, for her contributions to world culture. The intervening years are a perpetual nightmare for Hilary. The abuse and neglect are so horrendous that only the dream of being reunited with her sisters sustains the young woman. Unfortunately, once Hilary is free for the long-awaited reunion, she is devastated to learn that Arthur is completely unaware of their whereabouts. Consumed with hatred and resolved to take revenge upon Arthur, Hilary undertakes to acquire the wealth and power which will make that retribution possible. Years later, aware that he is facing imminent death, Arthur engages the services of a private investigator to locate the three women. John Chapman, a weak yet likable individual, is able to accomplish the task. Thus it is that, after two decades apart, the three sisters are reconciled, and Arthur can meet death with a certain degree of equanimity. Sam Walker met Arthur Patterson in the midst of the mud and misery of the Italian campaign, and by the time World War II was over they were closer than brothers. Their friendship survives Arthur’s disastrous marriage and Sam’s multiple infidelities to a woman Arthur worshipped. Then, in a burst of seemingly inexplicable rage, Sam kills his wife and later commits suicide, leaving his three daughters destitute and homeless. Unable to provide for his friend’s offspring, Arthur allows the two younger children to be adopted and places the oldest, Hilary, in the care of Sam’s slovenly sister and her equally despicable husband.
