A renowned supermodel's world is torn apart in an instant, sending her on an unexpected journey of discovery in Beautiful, from the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel.

Véronique Vincent is a star. At twenty-two, she is one of the most sought-after models in fashion, gracing the covers of magazines and walking runways across the world. But Véronique does not seek the limelight, preferring to spend time at home with those she loves most.

But on a much-anticipated getaway, tragedy strikes, changing her life forever. She is forced to confront the harsh reality that neither her personal and professional life will ever be the same, and secludes herself, hiding the truth from the industry that adored her.

As Véronique struggles to find herself after losing so much, she discovers long-held family secrets. These new bonds help her see a light beyond the darkness and to find peace helping others. She begins to understand what it truly means to be beautiful as she uncovers a life more meaningful than she could ever have imagined.
