The Sins of the Mother - Danielle Steel

After building an empire that has made her a legend in business, Olivia spends months each year planning a lavish holiday for her family, now adults. More than anything, she hopes to express her love and her regret at all the important times she missed during her children’s early years.

This summer she has arranged a dream trip on a luxurious yacht in the Mediterranean. But old resentments die hard, and Olivia is still running the business full time.

As each of these individuals confronts the past and the challenges of the present and future, they also learn to accept the enduring, unconditional love of their family – and a mother who is both strong enough to take more than her fair share of the blame, and loving enough to accept them as they really are. The question is: can they do the same for her?
