Product Description
On a warm May night in San Francisco, the Ritz-Carlton ballroom shimmers with crystal and silver as a glittering, celebrity-studded crowd gathers for a charity dinner dance. The evening is perfect?until, just minutes before midnight, the room begins to sway. Glass shatters. And as the lights go out, people begin to scream?.
In the earthquake?s aftermath, the lives of four strangers will converge.? Sarah Sloane, the beautiful wife of a financial whiz, watches her perfect world fall to pieces?. Grammy-winning singer Melanie Free, the event?s headliner, comes to a turning point in her life and career?. Photographer Everett Carson, a former war correspondent whose personal demons have demoted him to covering society parties, finds new purpose amid the carnage?and Sister Maggie Kent, a nun who normally works in jeans and high-tops with the homeless, searches through the rubble?and knows instantly that there is much work to be done?.
As the city staggers back to life, a chain reaction of extraordinary events will touch each of the survivors.? For Sarah, it begins with the discovery of a crime and a betrayal, then a strength she never knew she had. For Melanie, volunteering at a refugee camp will open new worlds of possibility. And Everett will be shaken by the unlikely relationship he forges with Maggie, who helps him rebuild his shattered life?and upends her own in the process. But as a year passes, and the anniversary of the earthquake approaches, more surprises are in store?as each discovers the unexpected gifts in a tragedy?s wake?and the amazing grace of new beginnings.
Throughout these enthralling pages, Danielle Steel creates a stunning array of contrasts?from the dazzle of a society benefit to the chaos of a makeshift hospital, from the pampered lives of rock stars to the quiet heroism of emergency volunteers. It is her most powerful and life-affirming novel to date.
From the Hardcover edition.

 Wow..! July 5, 2008
I must admit, being a big Danielle Steele fan, I have been disappointed in her last few books. But Amazing Grace is a real hit! I couldn't put it down! I read it in two days. She doesnt repeat herself all the time in this book as she does in previous books. It's solid story from cover to cover. I highly recommend the book!
 Heartwarming June 9, 2008
Although I found the romance between the nun and journalist unbelievable. I did find this story heartwarming.
Not One of her Best April 12, 2008
While this is a typical Danielle Steel novel, I didn't consider it one of her best. The plot was too predictable. Shipping was TERRIBLE.
Characters to really root for! April 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In this novel, Danielle Steel has created several genuine characters who really deserve your attention and admiration. The storylines are interesting and you won't find any two characters with the same set of problems to face and deal with. Yet each character faces his or her own set of circumstances in his or her own way and deals with them honestly. Amazing Grace is one of Danielle Steel's better novels.

 A good book to read March 17, 2008
I wont say it was a great book, but I will say it was a great read. I enjoyed it and read it in a few days. I disagree that it was a boring book. I have not read her before but will try another of hers, if they are similar than I will be happy with that.
