Danielle Steel's beloved, bestselling novel is about honor and commitment, love and integrity-and about finding hope again. Five Days in Paris will change your life forever. As president of a major pharmaceutical company empire, Peter Haskell has everything: power, position, a career, and a family that means everything to him and for which he has sacrificed a great deal. Compromise has been key in Peter Haskell's life, and integrity is the base on which he lives. Olivia Thatcher is the wife of a famous senator. She has given to her husband's ambition and career until her soul is bone-dry. She is trapped in a web of duty and obligation, married to a man she once loved and no longer even knows. When her son died, a piece of Olivia died too. Accidentally, they meet in Paris, at the Ritz. Their totally different lives converge for one magical moment in the Place Vend me, as Olivia carefully, silently, steps out of her life and walks away. Peter follows her, and in a caf in Montmartre, their hearts are laid bare. Peter, once so certain of his marriage and his success, is suddenly faced with a professional future in jeopardy. Olivia is no longer sure of anything except that she can't go on anymore. When Olivia disappears again, Peter finds her. But where will they go from there? Five days in Paris is all they have. They go back to their separate lives, but nothing is the same. Everything they believe is put on the line, until they each realize they must stand fast against compromise and face life's challenges head-on.
