Meredith White was one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces. But a personal tragedy cut her career short and estranged her from her family. For the past 15 years, Meredith had secluded herself from the world, living in her San Francisco mansion. Then, one late summer, a devastating earthquake struck, plunging the city into chaos. Without hesitation, Meredith invited her homeless neighbors into her largely undamaged home as the recovery process began. From the venerable doctor, to the beautiful young woman whose lover considers her a plaything of a wealthy man, to the accomplished pianist in his 80s, each has a story and a hidden secret that will gradually be revealed. Strangers become friends, and relationships form as they support each other not only in the aftermath of the earthquake, but also through their own personal crises. As Meredith finds herself venturing back into the world, she suddenly sees her isolation, her estranged family, and even her career in a whole new light. Thanks to the suspicions of a new acquaintance, a shocking truth about her life is revealed. "Neighbors," by Danielle Steel, the universally beloved storyteller, is a novel about friendship, support, trust, love, and what it takes to bring people together.
