Malice by Danielle Steel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Grace Adams was abused by her father, almost nightly, for four years. On the night of her mother's funeral, after more abuse, she shot and killed him. Danielle Steel tells Grace's compelling story of survival and ultimate triumph!

I first read MALICE in 1997, and have reread it several times since. From the first read, it became one of my favorite Danielle Steel novels because it captures so many aspects of the human condition--abuse, betrayal, depravity, murder, malicious revenge, triumph, love, survival, happiness and trust. It still makes me cry each time I revisit the characters, even though I already know the story by heart. So many of Danielle Steel's books speak to me in this way, so it's like coming home when I reread one.
