Great Book

I teletype enjoyed listening to this book. this one will stay in my collection for me to listen to again. Loved the story line, sometimes we just have to let go and let the chips fall where they may. There is nothing like family.

Danielle Steele fan

Okay, so I’m a sucker for a Danielle Steele book I admit it. There isn’t one story that I couldn’t get into. She’s my escape from reality. This one was heartwarming and full of love.

Family Ties

Any additional comments?

Just over ten hours of listening, Family Ties is read by Susan Ericksen.

Danielle Steel is one of the most prolific writers in America today. As a reader, you either love her or hate her, there really is no in-between, and she has legions of fans. If you are ever in the mood for sweet romance, meaning a teenaged girl can read the book, pick up a Danielle Steel novel. It’s easy to become absorbed, the stories are not gray-matter growth material; they aren’t intended to be. Danielle Steel is a die-hard romantic, and directs her talents to that end, pretty much exclusively.

Most stories involve a strong female lead, as does Family Ties. There are ome unique, and sometimes quirky, characters and the trials and tribulations of each traverse the pages. A typical, Danielle Steelesque, satisfying conclusion.

First Steele

the naration was good however I wasn't crazy about the story line. Not sure if I will try another one of these.

Decent listen

This was a decent listen but I agree with other reviewers, the author repeated the same things over and over. I listen in my car only and sometimes when I would start my car up and start listening I would question if I accidently rewound the book but I didn't, she just repeats alot. All and all I enjoyed the book pretty much but it did get a little tedious with the repeating!
