Brave Together

In this powerful and heartfelt novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a family’s fortitude is tested by secrets and crises.

Audrey Fuller and her husband Charles are gathering their four adult children and their families together at their San Francisco home both for the holidays and to celebrate 49 years of marriage. A decorated Marine fighter pilot and successful businessman, Charles holds his family to high standards, while Audrey lovingly holds them all together, no matter what it takes.

But when Audrey has a medical crisis, it not only shakes the family to its core, it also reveals a long-held family secret. It will turn their oldest son Tate’s life upside down, causing him to question his closest relationships.

Tate’s brother Boden is a Marine like his father, a test pilot for fighter planes. Boden lives to fly, until he, too, is hit with a curveball he never saw coming—one that his wife Beth, a Marine nurse, fears may be his undoing.

Their sister Paige also has the flying bug. Both she and her boyfriend Matt are aerobatic pilots, performing death-defying daredevil maneuvers for captivated audiences. Paige is hooked on the adrenaline rush, but her family worry that one day she may push things too far.

Rebelling against her father’s authority, oldest sister Emily lives far away on a sheep farm in New Zealand with her husband and twin sons. When Tate confides in her and she learns the truth about their deepest family secret, her defiance and her choices begin to shift.

Through it all, Audrey’s steadfast strength helps them all stay on course through a turbulent year to make it intact to the next holiday, and their golden anniversary.

Danielle Steel’s Brave Together is a deeply moving story of family bonds, love and loyalty—capturing the courage it takes for one closeknit family to ride out life’s tragedies and share its greatest joys.
