Olympia Crawford Rubinstein has a busy legal career, a solid marriage, and a way of managing her thriving family with grace, humor, and boundless energy. With twin daughters finishing high school, a son at Dartmouth, and a kindergartner from her second marriage, there seems to be no challenge to which Olympia cannot rise. Until one sunny day in May, when she opens an invitation for her daughters to attend the most exclusive coming-out ball in New York–-and chaos erupts all around her. One twin’s excitement is balanced by the other’s outrage; her previous husband’s profound snobbism is in sharp contrast to her current husband’s flat refusal to attend.
For Olympia’s husband, Harry, whose parents survived the Holocaust, the idea of a blue-blood debutante ball is abhorrent. Her daughter Veronica, a natural-born rebel, agrees–-while Veronica’s identical twin, Virginia, is already shopping for the perfect dress. Then there’s Olympia’s ex, an insufferable snob, who sees the ball as the perfect opportunity for a family feud. And amid all the hubbub, Olympia’s college-age son, Charlie, is facing a turning point in his life–-and may need his mother more than ever. But despite it all, Olympia is determined to steer her family through the event until, just days before the cotillion, things begin to unravel with alarming speed.
From a son’s crisis to a daughter’s heartbreak, from a case of the chicken pox to a political debate raging in her household, Olympia is on the verge of surrender. And that is when, in a series of startling choices and changes of heart, family, friends, and even a blue-haired teenager all find a way to turn a night of calamity into an evening of magic. As old wounds are healed, barriers are shattered and new traditions are born, and a debutante ball becomes a catalyst for change, revelation, acceptance, and love.
In a novel that is by turns profound, poignant, moving, and warmly funny, Danielle Steel tells the story of an extraordinary family–-finding new ways of letting go, stepping up, and coming out…in the ways that matter most.

I have long been a Danielle Steel fan but hadn’t read any of her books lately. Although I enjoy her Historical Fiction much more, this was interesting. Not coming from a “blue” bloodline, I didn’t understand the process of a Coming Out ball. I found it interesting, if a little old-fashioned.
3.0 out of 5 stars A typical Danielle Steel novel!

It wasn’t a matter of liking or disliking it but it just didn’t take me there! She must have written it in much too much of a hurry. It was a roller coaster ride but you never knew if you were up or down. Very disjointed.
2.0 out of 5 stars The first book I read of Danielle Steel that was just okay

I probably should explain the headline; I am too much a blue collared Midwestern woman to understand, or pretend to understand, society coming out. The book was a big much ado about nothing. The characters were interesting but very cliche. The storyline was forced to make it worth a book.
