Annabelle Worthington comes from a wealthy family when her life changes when she is 19 years old and her father and brother die in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The book follows after that tragedy, and onto an early seemingly idyllic marriage. Annabelle has a passion for medicine and does volunteer work; she continues in the medical field for her whole life. After fleeing from a scandal, she volunteers at a field hospital during World War I.
This was another good read by Danielle Steel. Annabelle overcomes several setbacks and just keeps going forward. Maybe it was the time period, but her devotion to her husband after he betrays her was hard to read. He causes a scandal and everyone assumes she is the one who did something wrong, when it was actually the husband. Even her own best friend shuns her. As the title says, Annabelle is a good woman. She goes through several tragedies throughout her life, and is always putting others before her. Her genuine care for others over herself is commendable.
This is maybe the third or fourth book I have read by Danielle Steel. I can see why she has been so popular, she writes interesting stories.
