Synopsis

Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family: her mother Florence is a mega-bestselling author, and her sister Jane is one of Hollywood’s top producers. Jane has lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years, in a solid relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. And Coco, a law school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for the artsy northern California beach town of Bolinas. When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit in Jane’s luxurious home, it turns out Jane’s house comes complete with an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who’s fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn’t be more different. The attraction couldn’t be more immediate. Suddenly Coco is seeing things differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he’s a single dad to an adorable six-year-old girl. Her mother is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all – into parenthood. As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed – all bonded by love. With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.

An only child, she discovered the joys of a big family as a child through one of her friends. She has nine children (seven biological and two stepsons that she has always considered her own) that are her greatest accomplishment.

She was based in California for most of her career and now lives in both San Francisco and Paris.

Coco Barrington was born into a Hollywood lifestyle. Her mother was a bestselling romance novelist and her father who died from a stroke four years ago was a literary dramatic agent. And Coco's sister, Jane is a really successful film producer. Coco's had been a disappointment to her mother ever sin......more

While I did enjoy this for the most part, I found some bits were repetitive. Almost like the author had forgotten that they had already said the exact same thing a few pages back, just in different words. Despite this I did still enjoy the story and found myself relating to Coco in a few ways. Some......more

Goodreads review by Lost In My Own World Of Books on July 10, 2018

A autora tem sempre um modo especial de narrar a sua história sem torná-la aborrecida ou desinteressante. Este livro diz que o amor não é improvável seja qual for a situação e, apesar de, às vezes vivermos em mundos opostos não significa que não dê certo. Fala também da família que pode ser o nosso......more

Goodreads review by Dion on November 08, 2017

Danielle Steel foi uma das autoras responsáveis pelo meu gosto pela leitura há muitos anos atrás; enquanto assinante do Círculo de Leitores comprava os seus livros com a certeza de que seria uma grande leitura. Mas "Um Dia de Cada Vez"?! Que grande desilusão!!! Foi sem dúvida o pior livro que li del......more

Goodreads review by Maggie on April 18, 2009

I was so surprised how much I didn't like this book! I've not read Danielle Steele before, I tried reading Rogue but couldn't finish it. I can't put my finger on why I couldn't get in to this book, it was like she was saying the same thing over and over again.... Coco is a hippie.... Coco is JUST a d......more
