Product Description:
A world-renowned actress falls victim to a terrifying explosion in Paris—and begins a courageous journey of survival, memory, and self-discovery in Danielle Steel’s mesmerizing new novel.
Carole Barber has come to Paris, with its rain-slick slate roofs and winding streets, to work on her novel—and to find herself after a lifetime in the spotlight. A legend of film and stage, Carole has set a standard of beauty and grace, devoting herself to her family and causes around the world. But on this cool November evening, as her taxi speeds into a tunnel just past the Louvre, a fiery instant of terror shatters hundreds of lives—and leaves Carole alone, unconscious and unidentified in a Paris emergency room.
At the Ritz, they wonder where their famous, incognito guest has gone. From California to London, Carole’s friends and family begin to make inquiries. Then comes a moment of shock as they all realize that Carole is far from home and fighting for her life.
In the days that follow, the paparazzi swarm. A mysterious stranger, a man famous in his own realm, quietly visits the hospital to see the woman he once loved and never forgot. Carole’s two grown children rush to her bedside, waiting and praying—until the miraculous begins to happen.…But as a woman who the whole world knows slowly awakens, she knows nothing of herself. Every detail must be pieced back together—from a childhood in rural Mississippi to the early days of her career, from the unintentional hurt inflicted on her daughter to a fifteen year-old secret love affair that went tragically wrong. But for Carole an extraordinary opportunity has arisen in a life-threatening crisis: a second chance to count her blessings, heal wounded hearts, recapture lost love… and to live a life that will truly honor others—beginning with herself.
A tale of survival and dignity, of small miracles and big surprises, Honor Thyself creates an unforgettable portrait of a public figure whose hopes, fears, and heartbreaks are as real as our own. Her courageous journey inspires us all.

Rating:  - This Author No Longer Earns Her Fat Paychecks!
It saddens me to say, but the phenomenal author formerly known as Danielle Steel no longer exists. She has hit rock bottom, although imo it would take just ONE quality, impressive novel to restore her former glory, with the condition that she CONTINUE to put out quality over quantity. The plot was interesting enough, but I must agree with other reviews in the fact that her writing has become atrociously elementary, repetitive and laughably unresearched. It shocks me that reputable publishing companies ... Read More
Rating:  - A page turner at Danielle Steele's best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this book, it started good from the start . It continued on at a slower pace but you have to acquire a taste for the character and all involved . People who suffer from amnesia has to go through this process to try and remember stuff from their life , so i dont think it was repetive that she loved her ex husband like a brother , she just did not remember much details about her previous life with him . Overall it was a good summer read , and i enjoyed it during my vacation . I would still ... Read More

Honor Thyself is the story of Carole (already forgotten her last name!), a Hollywood actress who is taking time off from the big screen to write a novel. She has a case of writers block and decides to take a trip to Paris to "find herself" so she can complete her book and go back to acting. On her first day in Paris she is in a victim of a terrorist attack that leaves her unconscious and unclaimed in the hospital. Once her ex-husband finds her, he, their two children and her assistant rush to her bedside. ... Read More
Rating:  - So-so read, story line similar to many of her other books
I found the script to be reminiscent of the repetitiveness found in many of her other books. The book could have been easily abridged without the loss of any content. I noted many sentences that were incorrectly structured and/or contained poor grammar.
One of the themes in the book (very wealthy and important woman meets very wealthy and important married man)is recurrent. I find it rather disconcerting that in many of the books I have read, she seems to promote extra-marital relationships as ... Read More
Rating: - Same old formula
Same old formula. Beautiful, world known woman meets man, loses man, meets man again only to ride off in to the sunset after a tragic event in her life.
The good news: I didn't buy the book. My sister gave it to me.
The bad news: I read the book.
It's the same, poorly written, repetitious, formula that Steel has used now for years as her writing gets more and more stale with each new offering, but with the money she makes and her multi-million dollar net worth, she probably doesn't ... Read More
