英文简介:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In this gripping novel from Danielle Steel, a top Hollywood executive seeks a new beginning when his career takes an unplanned turn.
As the head of a prestigious movie studio for nearly two decades, Andy Westfield has had every conceivable professional luxury: a stunning office on the forty-fourth floor, a loyal assistant who can all but read his mind, access to a private jet and company cars.
The son of Hollywood royalty, Andy always put his career before his marriage, and now, besides his daughter and young grandchildren, it’s the only thing he truly loves.
But then Andy’s world is upended.
The studio is sold, and the buyer’s son demands the top seat.
Out of a job and humiliated, Andy spirals.
When his head clears, he decides to get as far away from Los Angeles as possible until the dust settles and he can find a new way forward.
Andy signs a six-month rental agreement for a luxurious home in a tiny, forgotten coastal town two hours from London.
When he arrives, he hires a local woman to help get his affairs in order.
A former journalist, Violet Smith is at a crossroads as well, and this temporary job is exactly what she needs to tide her over.
But when Violet leaves the manuscript of her unfinished novel behind after work one day, Andy lets his curiosity get the best of him and is captivated by a story that begs to be adapted for the big screen.
Could this be the miracle they’ve both been looking for? In Second Act, Danielle Steel presents a heartening tale of how challenging times give way to opportunities and an original outline does not always contain the perfect ending.
中文简介:
《纽约时报》畅销书 * 在丹妮尔·斯蒂尔的这部扣人心弦的小说中，一位好莱坞高管在职业生涯发生意外转变时寻求新的开始。
作为一家著名电影制片厂的负责人近二十年，安迪·韦斯特菲尔德拥有一切可以想象的职业奢华：位于四十四楼的一间令人惊叹的办公室、一位几乎能读懂他的想法的忠实助手、使用私人飞机和公司的权利汽车。
作为好莱坞皇室的儿子，安迪总是把事业放在婚姻之前，现在，除了女儿和年幼的孙子，这是他唯一真正热爱的事情。
但随后安迪的世界被颠覆了。
工作室被出售，买家的儿子要求最高的座位。
安迪失业并受到羞辱，情绪每况愈下。
当他的头脑清醒后，他决定尽可能远离洛杉矶，直到尘埃落定，他才能找到新的前进之路。
安迪在距离伦敦两小时车程的一个被遗忘的沿海小镇签署了一份为期六个月的豪华住宅租赁协议。
当他到达时，他雇用了一名当地妇女来帮助他处理事务。
维奥莱特·史密斯（Violet Smith）曾是一名记者，现在也正处于十字路口，而这份临时工作正是她所需要的，可以帮助她渡过难关。
但有一天，当维奥莱特下班后把她未完成的小说的手稿留在一边时，安迪的好奇心战胜了他，并被一个需要改编成大银幕的故事所吸引。
难道这就是他们一直在寻找的奇迹吗？在第二幕中，丹妮尔·斯蒂尔讲述了一个令人振奋的故事，讲述了充满挑战的时代如何让位于机遇，而原始的大纲并不总是包含完美的结局。
