Even the most perfect lives can be shattered in an instant.
In this moving, emotionally charged novel, Danielle Steel
introduces readers to an unforgettable cast of characters
striving to overcome tragedy and discover the inner
resources and resilience to win at life—once again.
WINNERS Lily Thomas
is an aspiring young ski champion training for the Olympics,
a young woman with her heart set on winning the gold. But in
one moment, Lily’s future is changed forever, her hopes for
the Olympics swept away in a tragic accident.
Dr. Jessie Matthews, the neurosurgeon who
operates on her that night, endures a tragedy of her own,
and instantly becomes the sole support of four young
children, while her own future hangs in the balance.
Bill, Lily’s father, has pinned all his hopes on
his only daughter, his dreams now shattered.
Other lives will entwine themselves with theirs: Joe, a
financial manager, faces a ruined career at the hand of a
dishonest partner. Carole, a psychologist at Mass General,
is a breast cancer survivor, her body and heart scarred by
what she’s been through. Teddy, with a spinal cord injury
worse than Lily’s, dreams of college and becoming an
artist.
From the ashes of their lives, six
people fight to alter the course of destiny and refuse to be
defeated. When Bill builds a remarkable rehab facility for
his daughter, countless lives are forever altered, and each
becomes a winner. Winners is
about refusing to be beaten, no matter how insurmountable
the challenge. And when Lily gets on skis again and enters
the Paralympics, the battle to brave life again is won.
Winners is about more than surviving, it
is about courage, history, and triumph. When all appears to
be lost, the battle has just begun.
