Summary
At an elite private school in Massachusetts, a wide circle of lives will be forever changed by a devastating series of events in Danielle Steel's riveting new novel.
Saint Ambrose Prep is a place where the wealthy send their children for the best possible education, with teachers and administrators from the Ivy League and graduates who become future lawyers, politicians, filmmakers, and CEOs. Traditionally a boys-only school, Saint Ambrose has just enrolled 140 female students for the first time. While most of the kids on the campus have all the privilege in the world, some are struggling, wounded by their parents' bitter divorces, dealing with insecurity and loneliness. In such a heightened environment, even the smallest spark can become a raging fire.
One day after the school's annual Halloween event, a student lies in the hospital, her system poisoned by dangerous levels of alcohol. Everyone in this sheltered community - parents, teachers, students, police, and the media - are left trying to figure out what actually happened. Only the handful of students who were there when she was attacked truly know the answers, and they have vowed to keep one another's secrets. As details from the evening emerge, powerful families are forced to hire attorneys and less powerful families watch helplessly. Parents' marriages are jeopardized, and students' futures are impacted. No one at Saint Ambrose can escape the fallout of a life-altering event.
In this compelling novel, Danielle Steel illuminates the dark side of one drunken night, with its tragic consequences, from every possible point of view. As the drama unfolds, the characters will reach a crossroads where they must choose between truth and lies, between what is easy and what is right, and find the moral compass they will need for the rest of their lives.

Another DS good read
Dan John Miller always does a great job of narrating Danielle Steel books.
This one doesn’t disappoint with a more current subject matter of sexual assault at a school handled sensitively by Danielle. As always an absorbing and addictive listen with a satisfying narrative. I completed this book within a day and am looking forward to her next one.

Different for a Danielle Steel book
Found the story overall a little depressing but well written, however it seems to pull through in the end. Chose this book because I wanted something a little different from Danielle Steel’s rom coms, but it wasn’t uplifting and didn’t leave me feeling good like her other books do.

Teenagers misplaced loyalty
Having worked for 20 years in a boys boarding house running boarding with my husband in a private school and also having taught in the state sector as well for many years, this misplaced loyalty issue is massive. It doesn't matter if a child comes from a poor, rich or middle income family, kids have this crazy idea, regardless of the implications, that 'snitching' as they like to call it, seems to show you're not a true friend and that it breaks some hidden code. The issues addressed in the story re the boys not telling the truth immediately, is so real. You can't assume it's some child from a rich family, its not, its a deep seated culture within all schools and within the student body of all schools. Fortunately not all of a school's student body will act like this, but a large number. Somehow, parents and schools need to tackle this problem that actually telling the truth, expressing what one knows is ok to speak out about and that there are so many ways information can be gathered and used so as not to highlight a person has spoken out. From a very young age continuing until a child leaves school, this message about being positive on speaking out has to be made a priority. In this story, I'm glad DS also raises the crazy out dated belief that just because a girl might dress in a certain way or drink alcohol she was, "asking" to be attacked/raped. What is it going to take to change such mentality? As women we should be able to dress as we like, drink alcohol etc and not fear we could be attacked. DS addresses this issue really well and the way it shouldn't be allowed for lawyers to attack rape victims and make it look like they were, "asking to be attacked". No women asks to be attacked, and DS addresses this really well

Glued from the beginning
A storyline that is initially difficult to read but soon becomes gripping. If anything, this book is too short and leaves wanting to follow each character more intently.
