Book description
At seventeen, on the night of her mother's funeral, Grace Adams is
attacked. A young woman with secrets too horrible to tell, with hurts
so deep they may never heal, Grace will not tell the truth about the
attack. She is beautiful enough for men to want her, but after a
lifetime of being a victim, now she must pay the price for other
people's sins.
From the depths of an Illinois women's prison to a Chicago modelling
agency, and from there to a challenging career in New York, Grace
carries the past with her wherever she goes. In healing her own pain,
she reaches out to battered women and children who live a nightmare
she knows only too well. When Grace meets Charles Mackenzie, a New
York lawyer, she has found a man who wants nothing from her - except
to heal her, to hear her secrets, and to give her the family she so
desperately wants. But with happiness finally within her grasp, Grace
is at her most vulnerable - in danger of losing everything to an enemy
from her past, an enemy bent on malice.
Danielle Steel has written an extraordinary women's story with rare
insight and power. Portraying the struggle to triumph over malice and
betrayal, she transforms a life of pain into a blessing for others.
Revealing both the stark reality of domestic abuse and the healing
power of love, Malice is more than powerful fiction. It is a piece of life.
