One Day at a Time (Fiction)
Author: Danielle Steel
Review by Shirley Hogan

About the Author
Danielle Steel is one of the most popular authors today. She is an internationally known author, selling over 580 million books world wide. A few of her best sellers include - A Good Woman, Rogue, Honor Thyself and Amazing Grace. She also penned His Bright Light, a story of the life and death of her son.

Coco Barrington, born into a wealthy and successful family, chose a completely different lifestyle as a dog walker. She lives in a shack on the beach in a quaint community with hippies and non conformists from the sixties. Coco is the daughter of a famous author, who goes by the name of Florence Flowers and Bernard "Buzz" Barrington, the most important literary and drama agent in LA, who died four years ago. Her sister, Jane, is a very domineering and successful producer who lives with her life partner, Liz, and their dog, Jack.

Coco, having lost her husband in a freak accident after two years of marriage, decided she liked her lifestyle, for now, to the dismay of her family. She turned against her family’s insistence that she become "successful" like them. Jane asks her to house sit in her palatial home and to take care of Jack while she and Liz go out of town for a few months to make a movie.

To Coco’s surprise, a very interesting and handsome British actor, Leslie Baxter, shows up to stay while hiding out from a very disturbed ex-girlfriend. They find they have nothing in common but the strong attraction is undeniable. Her whole life seems to be changing overnight. Jane and Liz make a startling decision and her mother has taken up with a man half her age.

Danielle Steel again uses her magic resolving love and conflicts concerning all family members. Although it keeps your interest, the excitement from some of her prior books is not there.

I have rated this three and a half stars and would still recommend it. Please email me at: shirley@tauntonweb.com. I may include your comments in my next review.
