THE WHITTIERS TV SERIES
BASED ON DANIELE STEEL'S BOOK
It was her 200th book and Daniele Steel's book THE WHITTIERS will now be turned into a TV series by Cottage Industry Entertainment. It is a heartwarming story about the importance of family, home and being true to yourself. Connie and Preston Whittier raised their six children in a
once-grand Manhattan mansion. With the kids now grown-up, the family home remains somewhere they all love to return to. But on Connie and Preston’s annual skiing holiday in Europe, an avalanche hits their resort, resulting in unspeakable tragedy. Struggling to process their loss, each member of the Whittier family must also face their own personal struggles. Lyle is successful, but has an unhappy marriage, and Gloria is a genius on Wall Street but deeply lonely. Twins Caroline and Charlie work all hours on their growing fashion brand, but have no time to enjoy life. Benjie has personal challenges and requires additional support, and rebellious Annabelle has fallen in with a bad crowd. With the future of the family, and their home, in jeopardy, the siblings must come together to support one another, and each one must learn the importance of being true to oneself.

DeleteTwo hundred books! I need to sit down just thinking about it. I had no idea she had written so many. This could work very well as a family series, although with six siblings they will need a large cast and an even larger Christmas table. A long Saturday hug.
ReplyDeleteOh, she did, you remember how many weekend love novelettes she had in the 80s, half of popular shows and TV films from that period were based on her books. Some of them female cheap novel writers can publish up to five new books a year.
DeleteIt's Daniele Steel's 200th book and I haven't read anything from her...need to check her out.
ReplyDeleteI haven't either,but we did see a lot of her series in the 80s.
DeleteDanielle Steele (and mind you I don't like her books) is the fourth most sold author in the world. She led a fantastic life, wish they could turn her into a biopic, but she is still alive. I'm surprised she is still writing. I haven't liked the adaptations with the exception of Crossings and Zoya.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was dead, I was probably thinking of Jackie Collins. Zoya was such an iconic series.
Deleteit was quite good, and the second occassion when Melissa Gilbert shared screen with that gorgeous second husband of hers.
Delete80s had great soaps and mini series.
DeleteI tried to read Danielle Steele and just couldn't get into her writing at all. I find that she's probably a lot like James Patterson, just pushing out book after book with little substance to the stories they create. If a Steele or Patterson book end up in my Little Free Library, it sits. Nobody wants their books. I have to remove them, then I take them to either the church free library or drop them off at the thrift store. Nicholas Sparks is starting to become one of those authors as well. His books hardly ever move out of my library.
ReplyDeleteI have read Sparks latest book and it was godawful. I read Paterson's book on the librarians and it was exactly lacking any substance.
DeleteGracias por la reseña. Te mando un beso.
