Product Description
Danielle Steel, America’s number-one best-selling novelist, has held millions spell-bound with such novels as Family Album, Full Circle, and Changes. But with Secrets she takes her readers beyond the tightly knit world of the family, into the heart of the nation’s most glamorous industry: television.
Here is the drama behind the creation of Manhattan, a first-of-its-kind prime-time television series produced by Melvin Wechsler. Tempered by tragedy, seasoned by success, a man with a Midas touch, Mel Wechsler will assemble a dazzling cast:
Sabina Quarles at forty-five has managed to maintain–by dint of spunk and surgery–the body of an eighteen-year-old. Tough, spirited, and self-sufficient, she has survived twenty years in Hollywood, never marrying, never quite succeeding, never deigning to work in television. Yet Manhattan may bring her both the stardom she craves–and the security her very special needs require.
Jane Adams is an earthy thirty-nine-year-old beauty. Devoted to her children, dominated by her abusive and violent husband, forced to choose between her husband and her acting career, Jane may find that her role in Manhattan has cost her everything that matters most.
Zack Taylor, the leading man, is a paragon of professionalism. Yet beyond the smooth good looks, the easy warmth, and the slick charm of the eligible bachelor, he remains an enigma.
The charming ingenue, Gabrielle Thornton-Smith, seems to have appeared out of the blue. Beautiful, talented and on the brink of success at twenty-five, what can she have to hide?
And Bill Warwick, plucked from the ranks of struggling young actors, is now slated to be the nation’s new heartthrob. But he has lied about one issue in his background. Not only will Bill’s future hang in the balance, but the success of the whole series may be jeopardized when he is forced publicly to confront the consequences of his little white lie.
Set in Los Angeles and New York, Secrets carries the reader behind the scenes into the making of a major television series. Probing even deeper beneath the polished surfaces, Danielle Steel explores the dilemmas both men and women, in and out of the searchlight of the media, confront today. She paints a vivid, compelling picture of a sophisticated world and the surprisingly real problems of the people who inhabit it.
Here Danielle Steel delineates her richest and most complex cast of characters, people forced together by extraordinary circumstances who must perform even when they're torn apart by their deepest secrets.
From the Hardcover edition.

 Tried to give DS another shot October 16, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I stopped reading Danielle Steele long ago because I felt like I was reading the same book over & over. This was on the bottom of my "to read" pile & I decided to read it. It was the same ole, same ole, story line that DS is famous for. I like more character development. Also, I don't really care for seeing into the minds of shallow, selfish and petty people. Why anyone would fall in love with Bill in this book is beyond me. Gabby does even though he treats her horribly then has a total turn-around & lo & behold they are in love. How a stay-at-home mom can all of the sudden decide to totally leave her kids with a psycho dad was also weird to me. Several of the other "life situations" for the other characters had a false ring to them.
 a big disappointment! October 28, 2005

i love danielle steel! i`ve read ALL of her books so far.but secrets was a big disappointment to me.as far as i am concerned,ms.steel tried to change her style of writing in this book more to the kind of judith krantz or jackie collins (some explicit "parts" i didn`t like at all).simply NOT the danielle steel we like. the story itselfs is ok(gives the readers some "insights" behind the scenes of hollywood)but....
some of her books i`ve read over and over again. i am not going to touch secrets for a second time,however.
"Secrets" by Danielle Steel June 20, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Danielle Steel's "Secrets" is a story that focusses on several people who all want to succeed in the Hollywood movie industry. These people are all very different but they have this same ambition in common and also the fact that they are all involved in a new TV series that everyone is convinced will take the world by storm."Secrets" is a story about what people will sacrifice for Hollywood and the lies that they will tell to further their own careers in the movie industry. The good things about this book is how the characters develop throughout it and that they all have such different personalities. I also enjoyed the romance element of the book as well. My main criticism of this book is that the plot was fairly predictable in places. Other than that though, I enjoyed reading this book. All in all, I found this book a enjoyable book to read.
Predictable but still a Page Turner March 18, 2004

Danielle Steel is my favorite author and I have read a lot of her books. Although, it was predictable, is still was a page turner. If you like romantic hollywood novels this book is for you. You will read about, Jane, a woman who realizes she is married to a horny drunk, Zachory, who hasn't been with a woman in years; Bill, who is secretly married to a former actress who is now a drug addict; Gabrielle, who is not what she seems; and Sabina, the famous movie actor who seems like perfection to everyone around her but in the end she like everyone else is hiding her own secret.

I was looking at some books by Steel and ran across this one and remember I've read this one in my 10th grade year in high school. I don't remember exactly what it's about...I remember that the main charcter gets blamed for murdering his wife...they were going through some rough times at that point and he found it hard to deal with. He goes to trial and while all this is going on he is in soap opera bussiness. Obiously if I rememberd this story from 3 years ago it must have been pretty good. And it is.
