About this listen

On a warm May night in San Francisco, the Ritz-Carlton ballroom shimmers with crystal and silver as a glittering, celebrity-studded crowd gathers for a charity dinner dance. The evening is perfect - until, just minutes before midnight, the room begins to sway. Glass shatters. And as the lights go out, people begin to scream....

In the earthquake's aftermath, the lives of four strangers will converge. Sarah Sloane, the beautiful wife of a financial whiz, watches her perfect world fall to pieces. Grammy-winning singer Melanie Free, the event's headliner, comes to a turning point in her life and career. Photographer Everett Carson, a former war correspondent whose personal demons have demoted him to covering society parties, finds new purpose amid the carnage and Sister Maggie Kent, a nun who normally works in jeans and high-tops with the homeless, searches through the rubble - and knows instantly that there is much work to be done.

As the city staggers back to life, a chain reaction of extraordinary events will touch each of the survivors. For Sarah, it begins with the discovery of a crime and a betrayal, then a strength she never knew she had. For Melanie, volunteering at a refugee camp will open new worlds of possibility. And Everett will be shaken by the unlikely relationship he forges with Maggie, who helps him rebuild his shattered life - and upends her own in the process.

But as a year passes, and the anniversary of the earthquake approaches, more surprises are in store - as each discovers the unexpected gifts in a tragedy's wake and the amazing grace of new beginnings.

Very Enjoyable

This was a really good story. Each of the story lines were interesting and uplifting at times. If you want a book just to read for enjoyment try this one.

Enjoyed

Story was as expected. Did not like that some of the audio for a character sounded as though they were speaking through a tin can.

Amazing Grace


This story started out with a very nice couple who had a very good life wanting for nothing. The story starts with the wife preparing a fund raiser. There are many other people who become involved in the story after a terrible earthquake hits i especially enjoyed the nun's part in this story.

Amazing Grace

Any additional comments?

Amazing Grace is just over nine hours of listening, read by Tom Dheere.

Danielle has a tried and true formula, and all of the elements are here. A strong female character. A catastrophic event. Emotions. In Amazing Grace, we’ll do a San Francisco earthquake.

Repeating myself with other Danielle Steel book reviews …. but if you’re a fan, you’ll understand from where I speak :-). Danielle Steel is one of the most prolific writers in America today. 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.

A typical, Danielle Steelesque, satisfying conclusion. Her books often speak to personal familial relationships and issues, as does Amazing Grace.

I’m pretty simple when it comes to critique of a narrator. If I don’t have to re-wind to determine who-is-talking-to-who, I’m good. Ergo, Dheere does a decent production.

Beach reading paradise? Sorry if my review is redundant, similar to other Danielle Steel books. But, hey … the books are a bit redundant, too. Enjoy … if you like Danielle Steel reads, you will.

Beautiful Story and Wonderful Characters

Hadn't read a Danielle Steel in a couple of years and I'm so glad I started again with this one. As always I was enthralled. Hated when I HAD to put it down. And as with every other of Ms. Steel's books, I was sad when it was over. On to e next one!

Performance lacking

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I did not, however like the way the narrator did the story. I especially did not like the way he did a character while they were on the phone.

Good story

This had a good storyline, but was disappointed by how much cursing was in the book. Also felt there was not enough change in the voices. There was not a ton of cursing, but it was too much for me.
