From #1 New York Times bestselling author comes an uplifting novel about an author who--to her surprise--inherits a grand estate near London. Sabrina Brooks is a wildly successful bestselling author of gripping thrillers. Unlike her fictional characters, Sabrina lives a quiet life in the Berkshires with her two beloved dogs. But behind this peaceful exterior is a dark, painful past. As a child raised by an emotionally distant father, Sabrina rarely felt love. And as an adult, her marriage twisted into an abusive relationship from which she had to escape. Sabrina channeled that fear into her writing, and now she has everything she has ever wanted. Then the arrival of a mysterious letter disrupts it all, declaring that Sabrina, as the only living relative of her recently deceased uncle, is now the heir to his title and estate outside London. This shocking news forces her to cross the Atlantic and see the manor for herself, stirring up her father's past and the secrets he kept. Determined to sell the estate quickly and return home, Sabrina is surprised by how much she loves roaming the gardens and exploring the historic manor. She can't help but admire her surroundings, especially with the handsome estate attorney, Grayson Abbott, acting as her tour guide. As she learns more about the family history, Sabrina begins to wonder what life would be like as "Lady Brooks" and if she could upend the stability she has worked so hard for. Is she brave enough to choose a different path? In Happiness, Danielle Steel creates an unforgettable story about inner strength, following your joy, and the rejuvenating power of love.

Happiness by Danielle Steel has Sabrina Brooks, a bestselling author, inheriting an estate from her uncle in England. We get to follow Sabrina as she goes on a journey from her cozy converted barn in the Berkshires to a lavish estate in England. Sabrina learns about her father�s family and about herself. I have been reading Danielle Steel�s novels since I was twelve (really), and I look forward to each new release. Some of them I find more captivating than others. Once I got into Happiness, I liked it. I thought Happiness was easy to read. The main characters are developed and realistic. I like that they are flawed. There are secondary characters that need fleshing out. I enjoyed the author�s vivid descriptions. They allowed me to picture the Berkshires, Sabrina�s converted barn, London, and the estate that Sabrina inherited in England. Sabrina�s dogs, Winnie and Piglet are adorable. They are good companions for Sabrina. I could understand why Sabrina had trust issues after learning about her previous relationships. Of course, her childhood was not exactly rosy. These facts are repeated over and over. I do not understand why the author feels the need to repeat certain details. After inheriting the family estate, Sabrina heads to London where she meets the estate attorney, Grayson Abbott. The attraction is instant between the pair (a fact that is mentioned frequently). Of course, the road to happily ever after is not smooth. The story had an expected but happy ending. Happiness is a good book to read during the summer or while on vacation. While Happiness was not a homerun with me, I am looking forward to the author�s next novel. Happiness takes readers from the Berkshires to England with an unanticipated inheritance, a dour father, cute canines, bestselling thrillers, an appealing lawyer, omitted information, and a romance riddle.
