*I've been reading Danielle Steel since college days. But over the years I found it repetitive or predictable.
*This one for a change has a male protogonist who manages a household with three kids and a dog with a little help from a housekeeper/cook.
*The mom decides she needs more in life and leaves the family to Persue a degree.
*The kids react to her departure in different way and Oliver,the daddy, manages everything or.does he?!
