    About this audiobook

    Carole Barber has come to Paris, with its rain-slicked slate roofs and winding streets, to work on her novel - and to find herself after a lifetime in the spotlight. A legend of film and stage, Carole has set a standard of beauty and grace, devoting herself to her family and causes around the world. But on this cool November evening, as her taxi speeds into a tunnel just past the Louvre, a fiery instant of terror shatters hundreds of lives - and leaves Carole alone, unconscious and unidentified in a Paris emergency room.

    At the Ritz, they wonder where their famous, incognito guest has gone. From California to London, Carole's friends and family begin to make inquiries. Then comes a moment of shock as they realize that Carole is far from home and fighting for her life.

    In the days that follow, the paparazzi swarm. A mysterious stranger, a man famous in his own realm, quietly visits the hospital to see the woman he once loved and never forgot. Carole's two grown children rush to her bedside, waiting and praying - until the miraculous begins to happen…But as a woman whom the whole world knows slowly awakens, she knows nothing of herself. Every detail must be pieced back together - from a childhood in rural Mississippi to the early days of her career, from the unintentional hurt inflicted on her daughter to a fifteen-year-old secret love affair that went tragically wrong. But for Carole, an extraordinary opportunity has arisen in a life-threatening crisis: a second chance to count her blessings, heal wounded hearts, recapture lost love…and to live a life that will truly honor others - beginning with herself.

    A tale of survival and dignity, of small miracles and big surprises, Honor Thyself creates an unforgettable portrait of a public figure whose hopes, fears, and heartbreaks are as real as our own. Her courageous journey inspires us all.

    • 1/5
      I usually enjoy Danielle steels books but this one is a disappointment to me?
      A little dry and boring.
    • 4/5
      What can I say, except another enjoyable book by Danielle Steel!
    • 5/5
      Good plot and characters. Loved to follow Carole’s journey in reverse and actually found it added something to the story by doing so because readers were already introduced to Carole with some of her backgrounds so it was an additional investment in the sorry. The pace moves good and readers will be torn on their feelings for some of the characters and their subplots. Overall, an interesting and easy story to indulge.
    • 4/5
      Steel does it again. Her usual fast moving, teary eyed, believable story line. Another book of realistic family problems becoming good in the end. All you might have heard of losing your memory and a good job telling problems that might arise from that.
    • 2/5
      This is the book that I was reading when I ate lunch with Nancy Pearl, and she turned to me and said "So! What are you reading?". I have to admit, I paused for a second and then told her honestly that I was reading my first Danielle Steel novel. She laughed! But not in a mean way.I'm not embarrassed that I read this book. Since I've started working at the library, I've been plucking books off the New Books shelf, and when people call to put their name on the waiting list for a popular book, I put my name on, too. It's important to have an idea of what my patrons are reading. And a lot of them really seem to like Danielle Steel.Honor Thyself is about an actress named Carole. Carole is in her 50s, still in the prime of her career, and planning to write a book. She decides to go to Paris for a bit of inspiration where she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time: at the site of a terrorist bombing. Unconscious, she is taken to the hospital. Her family and friends gather, and rejoice when she regains consciousness. However, she has lost her memory. Her family and friends help her to piece her life back together.It was a very good story. At the same time, I felt sorry for Carole and I thought that she was incredibly lucky. Losing one's memory must be terrible...but having family and friends around to bring those experiences back to life? It seemed like a great time. Plus, Carole had the opportunity to look back at what she'd done in a detached sort of way - although she was the one that had a strained relationship with her daughter, she could see it from an outsiders perspective. I envy the opportunity to view ones life from a different perspective - but I don't envy her bump on the head.This was a very easy book to read. I can understand why she is a popular author - the subject matter is definitely adult, but anybody with average reading ability could get through this book with no trouble. That's a good combination for drawing in a wide audience.However, her run-on sentences started to drive me batty. That and unnecessary commas. For your consideration:"She leaves her practice and goes on a journey, trying to find the answers to her own questions, the keys to the doors that she has left locked for most of her life, while she was moving forward. Now she has to go back, before she can go forward again." (pg. 211)It just doesn't flow. It sounds jerky in my mind.Oh! And there is a point in which Carole remembers dating a closeted gay man. He didn't want to be out of the closet, and she didn't want the world to know that she was really seeing someone else. Carole says that "He was my beard." Well, I only happen to be aware of this slang term because I've watched a few episodes of Sex and the City, but he is not HER beard, she is HIS beard. She does not need a beard. She is a woman, and a heterosexual one at that. Gay men who wish to appear heterosexual appear in public with women - their beards. Perhaps the bump on the head caused Carole to blunder this metaphor? One can only hope.Anyway, I hope an editor got fired for that one. Or at least a strongly worded reprimand.So, to recap: I was pleasantly surprised by Danielle Steel. I enjoyed the story, I felt empathetic towards many of the characters, and I now understand what it is that many people find appealing about Danielle Steel's writing. I might just read another one someday. And I'll find a way to get over her writing style, which is full of fragments, causing headaches and hyperventilation in its readers, who read in lawnchairs, while sipping mimosas, watching the sun set over the sea. Which is blue and sparkly.
