Sydney Wells has spent sixteen years in a beautiful house with a husband who adored her. Then he dies suddenly, and she learns that he never got around to updating his will. Everything — the house, the money, the life — belongs to his two daughters from his first marriage, and they waste no time putting her out of it.

At forty-nine, with no income and no home, Sydney goes back to the only career she ever had: fashion design, which she gave up when she married. The industry welcomes her back, but not kindly. Naive about the people she is now working for, she makes a choice that looks innocent and lands her in the middle of a criminal prosecution, publicly disgraced and financially ruined.

Danielle Steel's Fall from Grace follows Sydney from the lowest point of her life back up: rebuilding a design career on her own terms, from New York to Hong Kong, and finding out what she is worth when nobody is providing for her.
