In His Father's Footsteps

Moving from the ashes of post-war Europe to the Lower East Side of New York, the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel, tells the powerful story of a family over three generations and what it means to achieve one's goals.

April, 1945. As the Americans liberate the Buchenwald concentration camp, among the survivors are Jakob and Emmanuelle, barely more than teenagers. With help, they make their way to New York, resolved to make a new life on the Lower East Side, working at gruelling, poorly paid jobs.

Decades later, Jakob has achieved enormous success, showing his son Max that America is truly the land of opportunity. Max is a Harvard graduate with friends among the wealthiest, most ambitious families in the world, and he chooses a perfect bride to start the perfect American family.

Max's lavish lifestyle is unimaginable to his cautious, old-world father and mother. But after the birth of his children, and with a failing marriage, he fears his wife is not the woman he thought she was. Angry and afraid, Max must learn what it means to truly walk in his father's footsteps, to pursue his own ideals and set an example to his children.

In His Father's Footsteps is a sweeping story of courage, ambition and the love between three generations of family.

Danielle Steel has been hailed as one of the world's most popular authors, with nearly a billion copies of her novels sold. Her recent international bestsellers include Accidental Heroes, The Cast and The Good Fight. She is also the author of His Bright Light, the story of her son Nick Traina's life and death; A Gift of Hope, a memoir of her work with the homeless; and the children's books Pretty Minnie in Paris and Pretty Minnie in Hollywood. Danielle divides her time between Paris and her home in northern California.
