Description
“Leap of Faith” by Danielle Steel is a gripping tale of deception, resilience, and the power of one woman’s courage in the face of heartbreak and betrayal.
Marie-Ange Hawkins begins life in a world of beauty and privilege—growing up in a picturesque French château, surrounded by love and comfort. But at the age of eleven, her world is shattered by a tragic accident that leaves her orphaned and alone. Sent across the ocean to live with a cold and resentful great-aunt on a remote Iowa farm, Marie-Ange is thrust into a life of hardship, cut off from the only home she has ever known.
With no one to turn to except a kind-hearted local boy named Billy Parker, she clings to hope and dreams of returning to France. Years later, just after her twenty-first birthday, fate delivers an unexpected opportunity: a chance to go back to the beloved Château de Marmouton.
In France, she meets the charming and aristocratic Comte Bernard de Beauchamp, a widower who quickly draws her into a life of romance and luxury. Their fairytale soon leads to marriage, children, and a lifestyle she never imagined possible. But beneath the glamour, a shadow begins to fall. A mysterious woman appears with a disturbing story—one that challenges everything Marie-Ange believes about her new life.
As secrets unravel and danger closes in, even her loyal friend Billy is too far away to help. Alone once more, Marie-Ange must summon all her strength to protect herself and her family. Her only hope lies in a final, desperate choice—one that demands a true leap of faith.
This unforgettable novel by Danielle Steel is a story of love and illusion, of being drawn into a world where nothing is as it seems—and of the unshakable courage it takes to break free.
