Danielle Steel - Southern Lights

Danielle Steel sweeps us from the gritty chaos of Manhattan’s criminal court system to the the cool gentility of the Deep South in her powerful novel – at once a chilling story of crime and punishment and a behind-closed-doors look into the heart of a family. Steel nimbly creates two complete and vivid worlds as a mother and daughter begin separate lives – one in corporate Manhattan, fighting to put a serial killer behind bars; the other in sultry Charleston, reconnecting with the father she’s barely known.
