The Dark Side

by Danielle Steel

Book Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Danielle Steel tells a riveting story of the dark side of motherhood.

Zoe Morgan's childhood was marked by her younger sister's tragic illness, watching as her parents dedicated themselves completely to her final days and then divorced. As a young woman driven by these painful memories, Zoe sets the bar high for herself, studying hard and pursuing a career in the nonprofit world, where her deep compassion for disadvantaged children finds a focus.

When Zoe falls in love and has her own child, she is determined to be a perfect mother as well. But before long, old scars long dormant begin to pull Zoe to the edge of an abyss too terrifying to contemplate.

As Zoe is haunted by the ghosts of the past, her story will become a race against time and a tale of psychological suspense that no reader will soon forget.

Customer Reviews

Dark is an understatement!

Don't pick up this book if you're expecting the usual Danielle Steel romance read. There is no romance and very little love of any kind. Without giving any spoilers, this book focuses on the twisted sense of maternal love without delving into any real sense of "why". The conclusion feels extremely rushed, attempting to tie it all up while simultaneously leaving the reader feeling unfulfilled.
