#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Danielle Steel follows a talented and creative woman as she launches her first television series, helping to recruit an unforgettable cast that will bring a dramatic family saga to the screen.
Kait Whittier has built her magazine column into a hugely respected read followed by fans across the country. She loves her work and adores her grown children, treasuring the time they spend together. But after two marriages, she prefers to avoid the complications and uncertainties of a new love.
Then, after a chance meeting with Zack Winter, a television producer visiting Manhattan from Los Angeles, everything changes. Inspired by the true story of her own indomitable grandmother, Kait creates the storyline for a TV series. And when she shares her work with Zack, he is impressed and decides to make this his next big-budget project.
Within weeks, Kait is plunged into a colorful world of actors and industry pros who will bring her vision to life. A cool, competent director. An eccentric young screenwriter. A world-famous actress coping with private tragedy. A reclusive grande dame from Hollywood’s Golden Age. A sizzling starlet whose ego outstrips her abilities. L.A.’s latest “bad boy” actor, whose affairs are setting the city on fire. An unknown ingénue with outsized talent. And a rugged, legendary leading man. As secrets are shared, the cast becomes a second family for Kait. But in the midst of this charmed year, she is suddenly forced to confront the greatest challenge a mother could ever know.
The strength of women—across generations and among friends, colleagues, and family—takes center stage in this irresistible novel, as all-too-real people find the courage to persevere in life’s drama of heartbreak and joy.

Title: Makes writing look easy
Review: I don't know how Danielle Steel manages to write so many books. Her main character Kait, in this book shows how she easily authored a TV series over a weekend. Amazing. This plot also includes the ups and downs of an empty nest for Kit and how to cope when your grown children make choices that keeps them away.

Title: Not my favorite
Review: I love Danielle Steel's books and the past few have been so good that this one fell a bit flat for me. Everything was just too easy for Kait. She meets a producer at a dinner party and then jots down a family inspired story outline that is immediately snapped up and becomes a hit show. She also becomes a producer on the show. Is it really that easy? Everything else falls into place easily too, except for one tragic thing that you knew would happen. I think overall, it was just too predictable and a little disappointing. But, it was still a quick, easy read and I'm hopeful that I'll love the next one she puts out.

Title: Enjoyed "The Cast"
Review: I don't read Danielle Steele on a regular basis but I have read maybe a half-dozen or so of her books over the years. I think she's a great storyteller, always interesting, but her writing style is pretty simple and basic. No flights of fancy prose here to awe you. "The Cast" was a good fun and fast read, and I plan to share it w/my sister. If you like DS, you will for sure enjoy this book.

Review: Dieses Buch ist so kurzweilig und spannend, dass man sich fast nicht trennen kann. Ich finde die Geschichten von Danielle Steel alle so spannend und unterhaltsam und hat aber auch etwas aus dem richtigen Leben, das einem Anreiz gibt.
