In the summer of 1959, the Palace of Versailles hosts a historic dusk-to-dawn ball, where select American and French debutantes will be presented to international society and royalty. Four young women, each with their own motivations, receive what many consider the invitation of a lifetime. Amelia Alexander contemplates attending the ball, viewing it as an outdated tradition. Her determined widowed mother, Jane, who has sacrificed for Amelia’s future, encourages her to seize the opportunity for a chance at happiness. Felicity Smith, from a prominent Dallas family, struggles with her overbearing sister and initially hesitates to participate. However, she ultimately decides to attend, hoping to step out of her sister’s shadow. Caroline Taylor, the stunning daughter of Hollywood icons, sees the ball as a golden opportunity, but an unexpected heartbreak before her departure casts a shadow over her excitement. Meanwhile, Samantha Walker, an art history major with a protective father, grapples with the lingering effects of a past tragedy that complicates her enthusiasm for the event. For these four women, the enchanting night in Paris promises to be transformative, forever altering their lives. Bestselling author Danielle Steel invites readers to experience this unforgettable journey.
