 by Nora Roberts

I've been enjoying this author's book for years now. I love the way she writes, I just sigh and sink into the story.
This is a lifetime tale of a Hollywood family, generations of actors. The main story is a kidnapping and their lives later, we watch this child grow into a young woman with deaths, marriages and drama creating a wonderful story.
A story of family and revenge. A twisted family member and criminals creating chaos.
Dillon and his family on the nearby ranch have been part of the family for a long time, since the kidnapping. It was nice to see the kids come full circle through their lives. I just wanted a little more by the end but it was beautiful.

Finally, she would return to Los Angeles, gathering the courage to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. What she didn’t yet know was that two seeds had been planted that long-ago night―one of a great love, and one of a terrible vengeance…
