Good book
4.0 out of 5 stars Trial by Fire is Timely and Prophetic
Danielle Steel’s Trial by Fire is a timely and poignant novel that resonates deeply in the midst of the devastating wildfires currently ravaging Los Angeles. Published in November 2024 and written in response to the Napa Valley fires, this book feels eerily prophetic as it reminds readers of the unpredictable devastation caused by wildfires and the resilience and humanity that emerge in their aftermath.Plot and ThemesThe story follows Dahlia de Beaumont, a Parisian businesswoman and single mother who finds herself in the heart of a wildfire crisis during a business trip to California. While Dahlia’s life is steeped in privilege—running her family’s perfume empire, her emotional journey is relatable and compelling. The novel explores themes of loss, love, self-reflection, and the importance of taking risks to embrace life fully.While only a visitor in San Francisco, Dahlia’s decision to help others, including visits to a temporary animal shelter, showcases the extraordinary ways people come together during crises.Strengths • Timely and Relevant: The book’s release coinciding with the recent Los Angeles fires adds a layer of poignancy, making it feel both reflective and prophetic. • Powerful Quotes: The standout quote about love and vulnerability adds depth to Dahlia’s emotional arc:“You have to be willing to take a risk for love, and be vulnerable, to go with your whole heart. I haven’t been willing to do that since my husband. And that was thirty years ago. That was real love, but we were young. It’s harder to get it right when you’re older. You’re not as motivated to try. Somewhere along the way, cowardice sets in. And habit takes precedence over finding the right relationship.”This sentiment captures the emotional hesitancy many readers may identify with, making Dahlia’s journey feel authentic. • Setting: Steel’s vivid portrayal of San Francisco and Napa Valley, combined with the tension of the wildfire, grounds the story in a gripping and dramatic reality.Critiques • Unrelatable Wealth: While Dahlia’s grace under pressure is admirable, her privileged lifestyle (from designer clothing to a luxurious career) makes her a main character with relatable struggles, but not a relatable lifestyle. After a couple dozen books with characters with unlimited wealth, I'm grow weary of everyone wearing Hermes, Dior etc. While their products are beautiful, it often takes away from the actual messaging and storyline. • Overemphasis on France: Steel’s frequent focus on France and its culture feels repetitive, and some depictions lean into stereotypes of French snobbery, which may feel tiresome to long-time readers.Final ThoughtsTrial by Fire is an emotionally stirring novel that highlights the devastation of wildfires and the resilience they inspire. While the wealth and cultural settings may not resonate with every reader, Dahlia’s journey of self-discovery and her acts of courage remind us of the universal struggles of love, loss, and finding meaning in life’s most challenging moments. Steel’s ability to weave timely issues into her narratives make this book memorable for readers during these unprecedented times of LA burning.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good read.
I love the way you can see the beauty in her words. She always takes me to a beautiful place, I will never get to see in person. Thank you Ms. Steele.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice but not my fav steele book
I enjoyed this book. However the first quarter was very long and drawnout in setting the stage for Dahlia. I kept waiting for the plot to kick in. Whenit did, i thought the story was nice but not a blockbuster.
Trial by fire
What a great book. Couldn't put it down. Loved the story and always love the happy ending. Danielle is a great writer and I have so many of her books.
A Great Read!
I read to be entertained. This book did an amazing job of accomplishing this objective. It may be a novel but it shows how your life can be changed for the better by circumstances beyond your control. It is never too late to pursue a different course. I really enjoyed this book.
Great story once again.. Trial by fire
A fantastic book once again from Danielle Steel. Her books are never disappointing. It's captivating from beginning to finish.The only disappointing thing is the printing of the book. So many pages very lightly printed making it difficult to read. And blobs of ink on some pages...Very disappointing from the printing merchant..
Beautiful
Love is hard to find but this author describes love in so many ways, you want to seek it out.
Not worth reading…
The story was predictable. Not much to read. I get the feeling that the books are always written the same way. Heroine lives in France is half American. Rich. We had that before. Honestly it reminded me of the book“ never too late”. There was a crisis in New York and the heroine went to help. So same style. I’ve read almost all books of Danielle Steel, and there are good ones like malice or blue. But lately nothing really exiting. Too bad…
