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.
