From #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a stirring novel about a woman striking out on her own after loss, as her adult daughters try to find their own independent paths in life. Kezia Cooper Hobson, recently widowed, arrives in New York from San Francisco. Determined to make a fresh start, she has just completed the sale of her Pacific Heights home, not to mention her husband's venture-capital firm, and in doing so, is also freed from her responsibility as a board member of the company. Bringing with her only a few personal treasures, she is excited to move into the blank slate of a beautiful midtown penthouse, in the city that she has always loved. It is also where her two adult daughters now live. As Kezia settles into her new apartment, she meets her movie-star next-door neighbor, Sam Stewart, whose terrace borders hers. Just a couple of weeks after she arrives, however, a devastating crisis strikes New York City. Kezia and Sam find themselves connecting over their strong impulse to help those in need. As they share a life-changing experience of volunteering, a bond is sparked and a friendship is formed. Kezia's daughters, Kate and Felicity, are taken aback by their mother's new friendship, both more focused on their own love lives than hers. But Kezia is learning that the changes she's making are just what she needs to open new horizons. In this powerful and moving new novel, Danielle Steel illuminates the importance of human connection and embracing brave change, proving it's never too late for a brand-new start.

I have been reading Danielle Steel�s novels since I was twelve years old (I had read all the books in the children�s room, so I headed to the adult section). I find her stories easy to read and a nice break from reality. In Never Too Late, I liked the characters, but there were too many of them. The secondary characters lacked development. The details about the characters were repetitive (did the author think we would forget a detail since she mentioned it in the last chapter). The author has a tragic event occur that will bring up terrible memories for many people. I thought it was too deep and tragic for this story. The incident is over quickly and wrapped up neatly. The whole thing left me feeling uneasy and distressed. The author could have found another way for the main characters to meet and bond. There was something that occurred between two secondary characters that is reminiscent of another book that I have read by this author. The story jumps around between the characters too much. I feel the author tried to put too much into one short book. I like that we get to see older protagonists getting another chance at love. While I was not a fan of Never Too Late, it will not keep me from reading the next Danielle Steel novel (I have read all her books, so I am not about to stop now).
