DESCRIPTION:
Page Clarke is a good mother, busy taking her seven-year-old son, Andy, to his baseball games and keeping careful watch over her fifteen-year-old daughter, Allison, who is trying her wings and testing her limits as she grows toward adulthood. Page's husband, Brad, is busy, too, with business meetings that often take him away from their suburban San Francisco home. But overall Page feels blessed with her happy family and comfortable marriage --- until one Saturday night, when everything falls apart in an instant.
 
On that night, Brad has unexpectedly left for an out-of-town meeting, and Allyson announces she is going to her best friend, Chloe, and Chloe's father, Trygve. Blond, Nordic Trygve, successful free-lance writer, has been raising his two sons and his daughter alone since the collapse of his marriage. A loving, devoted father, his offer to escort the girls doesn't surprise Page. But when Allyson and Chloe tell a lie and go out with two older high school boys in a borrowed car, they are suddenly headed for disaster. In one terrifying instant, their car collides head-on with another, and five families' lives are altered forever.
 
Finding Trygve already at the hospital, Page leans on his strength throughout the long hours of waiting. Unable to locate Brad, Page is alone, tormented by questions. Will Allyson live? Will any of them? Were the teenagers drinking? Using drugs? Who was at fault? And where was her husband? Without Brad by her side, Page is forced to confront the fact that Allyson may not live, and if she does, she may never be the same again.
 
Accident is the story of lives forever changed, love that never dies, and people of remarkable courage. In an inspiring novel that explores how many people are affected by one tragic accident, and how they survive it. Danielle Steele brings us close to characters whose lives are as familiar as our own ... and who live as we all do, in a world where everything can change in a single moment.
