The epitome of intelligence, high-powered energy, and grace, Blaise McCarthy is an icon in the world of television news, asking the tough questions and taking on the emotionally charged issues of world affairs and politics with courage and insight. A single mother, she manages her well-ordered career meticulously, always prepared on the air or for interviewing world-renowned figures and heads of state. To her audience, Blaise seems to have it all. But privately, and off the set, there is another untold story she has kept hidden for years.

Blaise’s teenage daughter, Salima, was blinded by Type 1 diabetes in childhood, and her needs have kept her away in a year-round boarding school with full-time medical care and assistance ever since. When Salima’s school closes after a tragedy, Salima returns to her mother’s New York City apartment, and suddenly they face challenges they’ve never had to deal with before, and that Blaise feels ill-equipped to handle. A new caretaker provided by Salima’s school creates as many problems as he solves. Handsome, accomplished, thirty-two-year-old Simon Ward, with strong opinions on every topic, questions how mother and daughter view themselves and each other. Simon opens new doors for both of them and refuses to accept Salima’s physical limitations. He turns their world upside down, and the three become friends.

Then everything starts to unravel and Blaise can’t keep her two worlds separate anymore. A beautiful young anchorwoman is hired at the network; it is no secret that she is being groomed to take Blaise’s place. Her career as she has known it is threatened, and her previously well-ordered life feels totally out of control. For the first time, Blaise’s life is not perfect, but real.

In this unforgettable tale, the incomparable Danielle Steel has written a novel that pulsates with emotion and honesty as three people face the truth about themselves. A Perfect Life is about what we do when facades fall away and we can no longer run from the truth. As old ideas fail, everything changes, and life is suddenly brand-new.

2.0 out of 5 stars Certainly Not Among Ms. Steel’s Best Novels

I am an avid Danielle Steel fan, but I did not like this novel. One of the things that irked me was how repetitive she was. She treated her readers like we’re dumb and can’t follow a story because she felt the need to go into grand detail way too many times on simple points. Yes, we understood that Simon wanted to go back to Megan and see what could be done, but Ms. Steel kept drilling that point into our heads several times, along with Blaise’s relationship with Andrew and the negative effect it had on her. It was too much and I got tired of reading the same thing over and over. The book was predictable as well. Duh, we knew Simon was gonna somehow change the lives of Blaise and Salima. Duh, we knew either Blaise and Simon or Salima and Simon were gonna fall in love. Duh, we knew Blaise was became pregnant by Simon when Ms. Steel pressed the point that they had sex without contraception and that Blaise just kneeew she wasn’t gonna get pregnant because of her age. That was a dead ringer that even with her age, she’d end up pregnant. And duh, we knew Simon would end up going back to Blaise. What would have been a real surprise or a real twist in the story is if Susie Q would have really taken Blaise’s spot. Not to say I was rooting for that, but it at least would have added some shock to the story because Danielle Steel made Blaise McCarthy such a perfectly perfect goddess who was so perfect that she couldn’t be any more perfect, we wouldn’t have thought that she would be knocked off her throne. Overall, I was not impressed with this novel. I only finished it because I paid for it. It was dragging and boring and repetitive.
