About this audiobook
When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit in Jane's luxurious home, it turns out Jane's house comes complete with an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who's fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different. The attraction couldn't be more immediate.
Suddenly Coco is seeing things differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he's a single dad to an adorable six-year-old girl. Her mother is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all - into parenthood. As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed - all bonded by love.
With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book, awesome ending....but I wish the main character, who is written as SO handsome, wasn't named Leslie...fine name, for my grandfather.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5was a good book. have several of her books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inhaltsangabe: von amazon.de: Sie kommt aus einer reichen Familie und hätte in ihrem Leben alles haben können. Doch Coco hat der Welt der Reichen den Rücken gekehrt und lebt zurückgezogen an der Küste Kaliforniens. Als sie den Mann ihres Lebens trifft, muss Coco sich entscheiden, wer sie sein will – denn Leslie ist ausgerechnet ein weltbekannter Filmstar.Mein Fazit:Mal ein bisschen anders – aber nur ein bisschen.Coco kommt aus einer berühmten Familie. Ihr Vater war Film-Produzent, ihre Mutter ist eine berühmte Schriftstellerin und die Schwester ist die Fuß-Stapfen ihres Vaters getreten. Und doch kommt sie mit dieser Welt nicht zurecht, denn alles ist auf den äußeren Schein ausgerichtet. Echte Gefühle haben da nur schwer Platz, ganz besonders, wenn man ein Kind ist und im Scheinwerfer-Licht groß wird.Coco lebt zurückgezogen in einem kleinen Cottage an der kalifornischen Küste. Ihr Job als Hundesitterin gibt ihr alles, was sie braucht, Anerkennung, Ruhe und Zeit, um einen schweren Verlust zu betrauern. Kaum jemand weiß wirklich, wer sie ist. Ihre Schwester bittet sie eines Tages, ein paar Tage auf ihr Haus aufzupassen, da sie nach New York zu einer Film-Produktion müssen. Nur widerwillig nimmt Coco an, hat sich von ihrer dominanten Familie noch nicht wirklich emanzipiert.Plötzlich taucht ein Gast auf. Leslie, ein gutaussender Film-Star, der vor seiner stalkenden Ex-Freundin flüchtet und in dem Haus Zuflucht sucht. Erst glaubt Coco an einen Einbrecher, aber ihre Schwester bestätigt den Besuch. Und kaum ist Leslie in dem Haus heimisch geworden, knistert es zwischen Coco und ihm. Sie kann das alles irgendwie nicht richtig einordnen. Denn sie möchte ihr bisheriges Leben nicht aufgeben. Aber Leslie berührt sie im Innersten ihres Wesens und macht ihr nur zu deutlich bewußt, wie einsam sie ist.Doch scheinbar stehen die Zeichen auf Veränderung: Ihre Schwester ist plötzlich schwanger und die Mutter hat einen jüngeren Liebhaber. Soll Coco sich da auch ein Herz fassen und mit Leslie eine Zukunft planen?Dieser Roman hat mich schon sehr berührt. Coco ist einem sofort sympathisch. Denn sie ist offensichtlich nicht vom Glanz des Show-Biz eingenommen. Sie weiß, wie es dahinter aussieht. Die Groupies, Paparazzis und ähnliches. Man erkennt, es ist nicht alles Gold was glänzt und jede Medaille hat ihre zwei Seiten. Die zwei Schwestern stehen so sehr im Kontrast zueinander, das man schon fast Mitleid mit Coco hat. Auch betrauert sie noch ihren Freund, der vor einiger Zeit einen Unfall hatte. Obwohl ihr verstorbener Vater ihr einiges vererbt hat, lebt sie bescheiden und zurückgezogen und genießt das Leben unter „normalen“ Menschen.Andersherum gelingt es der Autorin, dem Leser zu vermitteln, das auch Leute im öffentlichen Leben so ihre Probleme haben, sogar völlig normale Probleme haben. Die Schwester lebt seit Jahren in einer lesbischen Beziehung und möchte ein Kind. Die Mutter ist nach dem Tod ihres Mannes sehr einsam und findet in dem jüngeren Liebhaber ihren ganz persönlichen Jungbrunnen. Und während die Liebesgeschichte um Coco und Leslie dahin plätschert, emanzipiert sie sich auch gegenüber ihrer Familie und kann ihr Leben behaupten. Zwar etwas schwerfällig und durch kleine Anstupser, aber immerhin. Und Leslie scheint auch ein ganz normaler Mann zu sein. Er hat Pech bei der Wahl seiner Freundinnen und eine kleine zauberhafte Tochter, um die er sich mehr kümmern würde als er kann.Alles in allem ist es eine sehr schöne Geschichte und ich kann ihn uneingeschränkt empfehlen.Anmerkung: Ich habe es als eBook gelesen.Veröffentlicht am 06.01.15!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family, her last name loaded with expectations. Her mother is a mega bestselling author who writes under the pen name of Florence Flowers and her sister, Jane, is one of Hollywood's top producers. They are not your typical family by any means...Jane has lived with her partner Liz, in a solid, loving relationship for ten years. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. And Coco - a law school dropout, turned dog walker - is her family's black sheep, who has fled life in the spotlight for the artsy northern California beach town of Bolinas.But when Coco reluctantly agrees to dog-sit in Jane's luxurious home, she soon discovers how much things can change in just a matter of days. It turns out Jane's house comes complete with an unexpected house guest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who is fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different. Their attraction couldn't be more immediate.Suddenly, Coco is seeing things totally differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he is a loving single father with an adorable six-year-old daughter. Her mother's not just a self-centered walking advertisement for great cosmetic surgery, she is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all - into parenthood. As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their new lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed - some traditional and some not so traditional.As I have said before, I consider Danielle Steel to be my "guilty pleasure" author - the type of author that I read in order to experience my "Calgon, take me away" moment. Usually, I can count on Danielle Steel for fluffy, feel good plots and characters. Unfortunately, this particular book had no such plots or characters for me to enjoy. I found that in the 320 pages of this book, Danielle Steel concentrated almost too much on the minutest details of characters' reactions to events, and not as much as she should have on furthering the plot.Perhaps I didn't enjoy this book as much as I usually do when I read a book by Danielle Steel, but I did end up giving this book a B+! I still enjoy Danielle Steel as my "guilty pleasure" author, I just don't think I will read another Danielle Steel book for several months.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book wasn't over the top amazing or anything, but was fairly good. I enjoyed the story, but kind of felt like it was over played. The main character's family part of the story I feel was the best part of the book. It starts off being a not so great family and then the ending is just a happy one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the story of Coco who is almost a recluse, she walks dogs and lives on a beach.. She house sits for her sister and her lover Liz and while she is staying at thier house a friend of theirs needs to hide out there .. his name is Lesile Baxter he is the biggest movie heart throb there is. The meet fall in love.. deal with the curves that his job tosses them with the papparizzi that hurt her physically in Venice when she visits him on location .. after awhile he shows up and they agree to live together and get married
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt that I had read this book before, probably in another of Danielle Steele's books. Nice love story, but there was a lot of fluff in between the good parts.
