Until The End Of Time: A Novel (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm a reader who turns to Danielle Steel while waiting for an e-book to become available. Although her books are easy to read, her characters have depth and she has a wonderful and skillful way of describing not only the characters but their emotions, which always tugs at my heart. When I finished the story, or thought I had, it had a nice romantic ending. Then I started what I thought was a second story, but not too far into the second story I realized it was a continuation of the first - only a different setting and different characters, but the same heart-felt story of two people who meet under unusual circumstances, who came from different backgrounds, who bond, and who have families that totally don't understand how people of different upbringing could have anything to do with one another. A little bit like real life, yes. Until the End of Time is by Danielle Steel. It is a romance like none other. Danielle manages to take two couples from two different decades and areas and combine their stories in a unique way. One definitely has to have tissues at hand while reading this book. It is easy to read and makes summer reading delightful. Jenny Arden is the daughter of a seamstress and granddaughter of a premiere in the ateliers of Paris.

What will happen with her father and the other Amish leaders? Robert Bellagio owns his own publishing company and is looking for a book that will take his company into the big times. He picks a book off his agent’s slush pile. The slush pile is a pile of manuscripts send by the author without an agent and that usually go unread until they are sent back with a rejection letter.
