Accident is a powerful and ultimately triumphant novel of lives shattered and changed by one devastating moment.
Although frequent business meetings keep her husband, Brad, away from home, Page Clarke feels blessed with her happy family and comfortable marriage. They have a house near San Francisco and she keeps busy looking after their seven-year-old son, Andy, and their teenage daughter, Allyson.
Allyson, at fifteen, is trying her wings and one weekend, instead of an evening with her friend Chloe, the girls lie and go out with two older high school boys. But a Saturday night that was supposed to be fun ends in tragedy when their car collides head-on with another.
At the hospital, Page finds Chloe's divorced father, Trygve, and, unable to locate Brad, she leans on his strength throughout the the long hours of tormenting questions. Will Allyson live? Will any of them? Were the teenagers drinking? Using drugs? Who was at fault? And where is her husband? Without Brad by her side Page feels her life start to come apart as she is forced to confront the fact that Allyson may not live, and if she does, she may never be the same again.
In an inspiring novel that explores how many people are affected by one tragic accident and how they survive it, Danielle Steel brings us close to the characters whose lives are as familiar as our own... and who live, as we all do, in a world where everything can change in a single moment.Es geschieht in einer lauen Aprilnacht in San Francisco, mitten auf der Golden Gate Bridge. Zwei Autos rasen ineinander. Die tragische Folge: ein Toter, zwei Schwerverletzte. Was als harmloser Ausflug einiger Teenager begonnen hatte, wird zur längsten Nacht im Leben dreier Familien... Eindringlich und ergreifend schildert Danielle Steel, wie Menschen auf ein zufälliges, schreckliches Ereignis reagieren: mit Verdrängung, mit Flucht, wütend, hilflos. Und wie einige es trotzdem schaffen, mit verzweifelter Hoffnung und unbeirrbarer Liebe die grausamen Bewährungsproben des Lebens zu bewältigen.
