A Mind of Her Own by Danielle Steel
A Mind of Her Own is a powerful historical drama about a young woman’s fight to chart her own destiny, challenging norms for women of the time, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel. Born in Paris in 1900, at the dawn of a new century, Alexandra Bouvier was raised believing that, with hard work and dedication, she can achieve anything. But when World War One erupts across Europe, coupled with the fast-spreading Spanish flu, Alex’s world is upended, and by age eighteen, she has already suffered unimaginable losses. Bravely setting sail for a new life in America, Alex is taken in by her last living relative, her American grandfather. He owns a small but respected Illinois newspaper, and agrees with her modern ideas, despite the restrictions imposed on women of the time. With his support, Alex attends university and her journalistic talent secures her an internship with a New York newspaper, where she meets crime reporter Oliver Foster. The two are drawn to each other, though both fear any attachment, and Alex is determined to remain true to her ambitions. By doing so, Alex is not only following her own dreams, but changing history for other women of her day, and all those who will come after her.
