{"product_id":"joy-a-novel-1","title":"Joy: A Novel","description":"#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this deeply moving novel from beloved author Danielle Steel, a determined young woman must survive a series of abandonments to find a love that is worthy of her.\n\nWhen she is only six years old, Allegra Dixon’s party-loving mother leaves without so much as a goodbye. Her father, an emotionally distant military officer, is also unable—or unwilling—to care for her. Sent to live like a ghost in her grandparents’ joyless home, Allegra finds her only solace through an escape into books.\n\nAttending boarding school, life finally takes a turn when she meets a dashing young West Point cadet named Shep Williams. Soon their friendship blossoms into something more, and they fall deeply in love.\n\nAfter college, Allegra has established herself as a book editor and Shep is rising through the ranks of the military. But then Shep suddenly receives a posting to Afghanistan, and they decide to marry before he goes. Between his deployments, they cling to their brief and fraught stolen moments together. Each time he leaves, Shep promises the separations will soon come to an end.\n\nBut soon Allegra realizes that the horrors of war have begun to change her husband into a man she no longer recognizes. The trauma he has experienced proves to be too harrowing, and Allegra will find herself feeling utterly alone again just when she thought she’d finally found happiness.\n\nIn her new novel, Danielle Steel tells the unforgettable story of a woman who refuses to give up until she finds the joy she deserves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593498615\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593498615.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steel, Danielle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
