Finding Ashley is a contemporary family drama about Melissa Henderson, a former bestselling author who has withdrawn into a quiet life renovating a Victorian house in rural New England after a personal tragedy. When her estranged sister Hattie reconnects with her, the meeting reopens a painful chapter from Melissa’s youth in Ireland and leads to a search for the child she was forced to give up as a teenager. Danielle Steel builds the novel around buried secrets, sisterhood, grief, motherhood, and the difficult possibility of repairing a broken family bond, while leaving open whether looking for Ashley can heal the past or unsettle everything Melissa has tried to rebuild.
