Publisher's Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a powerful story about fighting for a chance at happiness—whatever the cost.

Charles Vincent seems to have it all—a beautiful wife, two successful children, and a well-paying career. Yet happiness remains out of reach. He is trapped in a loveless marriage and his job is simply a paycheck. But his life changes forever as he drives along the Normandy coast, heading to their lavish château for the weekend. In one terrifying moment, Charles falls asleep at the wheel and veers off the road, plunging thirty feet down the face of a rocky cliff.

Miraculously, Charles survives. After gathering the courage to climb to safety, he starts to walk—bruised, bloody, and desperate for help. In the dark of night, he happens upon a cabin where he meets the kind and beautiful Aude Saint-Martin. Their connection is instant, and as she nurses him back to health, Charles begins to discover the passion he's been missing for so many years.

In the aftermath of the crash, Charles has a startling realization—he doesn't have to go back. He could simply choose to disappear, to walk away from his old life. When his car is discovered, he'll be presumed dead, washed away at sea. If he stays with Aude, he has a chance at a fuller, happier life he didn't know was possible. It all seems too good to resist. But Aude has secrets of her own and before long their pasts catch up to them, threatening everything they have fought to build.

What would happen if you were given a chance to walk away from everything in your life and start over with a blank slate, and you had a split second to decide? In Without a Trace, Danielle Steel tells an irresistible story of the risks two people are willing to take in exchange for a second chance at the life they've always wanted.

Not Danielle's Finest

Danielle Steele is my favorite author, and had this book been written by anyone else, I probably would have given it another star. it's just not the quality we've come to expect from her. it seemed to gloss over so many of the details that Danielle is so good at including. It almost seemed a bit "preachy" at times, too. Not a bad book, just not a great one.

Over the top narration almost made it impossible to listen to

Definitely not one of DS’s best. Thin… unbelievable story line and narration that was very hard to listen too

One of DS’s Best

This is an excellent story line. It moved like a bullet. The characters are believable. It made me think about my own life choices. This book is better than therapy!
