Yuck. This was one rough book. It's over-written and super predictable. I don't even want to count the number of times Danielle Steel wrote "completely with ease" or "perfectly with ease" about Lily in her wheelchair. SHOW DON'T TELL. Danielle Steel over-told and wrote the most mundane sentences. I didn't believe her characters at all. She TOLD how amazing they all were but I didn't feel it or believe it. There was heartache in the events that happened but then everything else would work out "perfectly".
I brought this book with me while traveling, so I read all 400+ pages but probably would have stopped mid-way through if I had other book options.

Winners by Danielle Steel
Love this author's book and can't ever seem to read them all. this one is about Lily and she's training to be an Olympic skiier. She lives with her father-her mother died when she was the age of 3.
After the accident he takes her on a world wide trip to find a doctor that will tell her there is a cure for her injury. They do not find that though and she goes home to go to rehab where others have broken off their friendship.
The book also follows the doctor, Jessie who operated on her for 11 hours. At the end she learns of her husband's death and she goes home to take care of the kids. Her path and Bill's meet over time as they discuss Lily's progress and he finds out about her life with the kids.
Loved hearing how Lily is at rehab and the pain and progress she has to overcome while doing class work. Others at the center help as they've been through it before.
Paying it forward in the way of a scholarship/school for others who are afflicted with the same type of injury brought tears to my eyes.
What I like the best is the different ages of those who are effected and how they strive to make the world a better place for not only them or their loved ones.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
