Radiant at sixty-two, she is the epitome of glamour and a highly respected artist. But her success has come at a price: She has a strained relationship with her daughter, Morgan, who at thirty-eight still blames Ardith for putting her career before being a mother. Morgan is a successful plastic surgeon in New York City--and the distance from Ardith's Bel Air mansion is not lost on either of them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArdith became a single mother when Morgan was seven, after her unfaithful husband died in a helicopter accident. In recent years, she has found amiable companionship with fellow actor Bill West. But Ardith's comfortable world is turned upside down when she hires a temporary personal assistant, Josh Gray, while Bill is away filming in London. Josh's rough-around-the-edges persona is the opposite of what Ardith is used to, but an unexpected tragedy brings them closer, stirring up conflicting feelings in her for this younger man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn New York, Morgan is swept off her feet by world-renowned TV anchorman Ben Ryan. Though more than two decades her senior, Ben is handsome, charismatic, and just as smitten as Morgan. But when a blackmail scheme puts his career--and their relationship--on the line, Morgan doesn't know where to turn. Perhaps . . . to her mother? As each woman navigates an unconventional romance, they cautiously approach each other on new terms and attempt to put aside their past for a new future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eUpside Down, \u003c\/i\u003eDanielle Steel tells an unforgettable story of bold choices, second chances, and the hope of reconciliation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49600206045457,"sku":"GOR013717464","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49924028039441,"sku":"CIN1730917909G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50690670297361,"sku":"GOR012290687","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51325133685009,"sku":"CIN1730917909VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51820450021649,"sku":"GOR013358979","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53083949793553,"sku":"NIN9781730917905","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1730917909.jpg?v=1751446288"},{"product_id":"tipping-toward-balance-book-tracy-l-markley-9781986552813","title":"Tipping Toward Balance","description":"In \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTipping Toward Balance, A Fitness Trainers Guide to Stability and Walking\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Tracy shares eight exercises and the reasons why these specific exercises have helped clients regain their balance.

This leaves people feeling unsafe in their movements, which, in turn, causes the walking gait to change and slow down because they feel out of balance or unstable. At this point, individuals may find themselves tripping often and\/or falling down. At any age, but often as we get older, the body can become weaker. That can be due to illness, lack of exercise, neurological challenges, or a diagnosed condition. In many of these cases, the body begins to move more slowly. You can feel unsafe in everyday movements, even just walking.\u003cbr\u003eThe center of the body, known as the core, must be built up in strength for the rest of the body to be able to perform movements at their best. Frequently, building core strength is thought to be achievable only when you get down on the floor and do crunches. Many clients with weakness or stability issues do not feel safe getting down to the floor. Consequently, that leaves them thinking it is a lost cause to attempt to strengthen the core muscles. Thankfully, this is not the truth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49937622073617,"sku":"CIN1986552810G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50097564647697,"sku":"GOR013853180","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1986552810.jpg?v=1751156574"},{"product_id":"stroke-of-an-artist-book-tracy-l-markley-9781533035806","title":"The Stroke of An Artist","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Stroke of an Artist \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an inspiring journey of a personal trainer and a stroke survivor.\u003cbr\u003eGary was an Artist who had a stroke.
