The Color of Hope: A Novel
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A beautiful American widow finds new life in France in this tender portrait from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.
Following the unexpected death of her beloved husband, art gallery owner Sabrina Thompson finds herself adrift in their Malibu beach house. Her three adult children—scattered from New York to London to Milan—are concerned for her well-being and encourage her to take a trip to Paris.
Once abroad, an impulsive day trip from Paris to Biarritz leads Sabrina to discover the charming medieval village of Arcangues in the Basque countryside, with its unique and iconic blue shutters and historic château. The château is the ancestral home of Xavier de Bonport, who is trapped in a loveless marriage and trying to dig himself out financially after a business failed due to the pandemic. He needs rental income as urgently as Sabrina needs a refuge. With Xavier living in a smaller house on the property, Sabrina begins to transform the château into a temporary home.
As they each sense compassion and resilience in the other, as well as kindness, a friendship blossoms. Inspired by the stories of Xavier’s grandmother, who saved hundreds of Jewish children during World War II, Sabrina considers fostering some children at the request of the local Dominican nuns, whose orphanage is filled to capacity. As a newfound family begins to fill the château, Sabrina and Xavier wonder if their friendship is becoming something more.
A poignant story of healing and new beginnings, The Color of Hope is an uplifting and unforgettable novel from the master, Danielle Steel.

This was such a comforting and heartfelt read. 💛 It’s filled with quiet reflection and beautifully explores the highs and lows of life... the moments that shape us, challenge us, and ultimately help us grow. The writing is engaging, and the characters feel genuine and relatable, like people you could easily know in real life.
There’s also a soft, almost dreamy atmosphere woven throughout the story that adds a touch of escape and elegance ✨ while still keeping the emotions grounded and real.
What I loved most is how this story gently encourages you to pause and think about your own life… especially that season when things begin to shift... when work slows down and a new chapter quietly unfolds. It made me reflect not with fear, but with curiosity. ✨ What will fill my days? What will bring me joy? It also touches on something so real... how hard it can be to figure out where you belong after life changes in ways you never expected. That quiet searching felt especially meaningful and honest.
The story weaves together themes of love, healing, family, and second chances 💫 while also highlighting the beauty of art and self-expression. There’s a realism to it... the ups and downs, the family pressures, the complicated relationships... that makes it feel both grounding and uplifting at the same time.
At its heart, this book reminds us that maybe life isn’t about constantly chasing “what’s next,” but about creating a life we’re excited to grow into. 🌿
Warm, hopeful, and emotionally satisfying... this is a story that stays with you. 🤍

Standard, predictable story. My guilty pleasure. Be nice, don't judge.

Another same rehashed story.

Yeah, her books are so short you can finish in a day. Basically they’re like Danielle Steel Harlequin romances. Still cute, still her voice, but not like her old books that were twice the size. Still, if you like her books, you’ll like this one. Very Danielle Steel formula.

A wonderful book by Danielle Steel that earned 5 stars. Loved the main characters, Sabrina and Xavier, as they get to know each other. Especially loved the children who came to live with Sabrina from the monastery.

Enjoyable as always. Somewhat predictable, but not completely.

Same old. Lonely perfect woman tries to flee from her boredom by moving into a posh little dower house overseas. She is of course wealthy, even has her yacht shipped over. She meets a beautiful sad man. Together they are happy. The end.

This was such a surprise. I loved the two main characters who met in Paris. They were such good people! The storyline was unique and kept me very interested. 4.5 stars!

Another complicated romance/family drama.

The Color of Hope is the sort of Danielle Steel novel that works the best. This sort of heart-warming, wholesome story of perseverance through trauma and trying times. It has some of the Steel hallmarks: wealthy older woman, handsome love interest, extravagant and beautiful surroundings, financial stress, divorces, deaths, family drama. I loved the French scenery, it makes for a tasteful and lush background for the growing dynamic between Sabrina and Xavier. I enjoyed the dialogue between the two and the development of each character's individual arc in the story. It's a short, simple, feel good novel which was a nice palate cleanser from the horror I was reading earlier that day. I might not have been paying as much attention this time, but I felt like its one of Steel's least repetitive novels of late, the writing wasn't as obviously one-note this time at least.

My Nana was a Danielle Steel fan, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve read one her books. This was a sweet story.🩵

After the heartbreaking death of her husband, who was the love of her life, Sabrina decides to go to France for a vacation. She ends up renting a chateau in a small village near the border of Spain. While in this beautiful, peaceful place, she begins to heal from her devastating loss. Her three adult children live in New York, London, and Milan. They witness their mom’s rebirth. And of course, she ends up falling in love again. Nice story.

After the emotional disappointment of Resurrection and the more uneven experience of Upside Down, The Color of Hope felt like Danielle Steel returning to one of her greatest strengths: writing about ordinary people responding to extraordinary hardship with dignity, compassion, and resilience.
Unlike Resurrection, this novel never asks the reader to excuse betrayal or shift emotional allegiance away from those who have been hurt. Instead, it tells a story about grief, renewal, and the quiet ways people heal one another.
The novel opens with Sabrina Thompson, a woman whose twenty-six-year marriage to Malcolm is portrayed as one of genuine partnership. Their marriage is not perfect because it lacks conflict, but because it is built on mutual respect. Malcolm encourages Sabrina to pursue her artistic dreams, and when he is diagnosed with ALS, one of his final written wishes is that she continue living the life they had planned together by buying a home in France. Even at the end of his life, his concern is for Sabrina's future, and that loving act sets the emotional tone for the entire novel.
The parallel story belongs to Xavier de Bonport. Unlike Malcolm, Xavier's marriage is emotionally barren. Years of unemployment following the collapse of his travel venture during the pandemic have stripped away much of his confidence, while his wife, Brigitte, relentlessly reinforces his feelings of failure. Danielle Steel uses Xavier to explore a different kind of grief, not the loss of a spouse, but the loss of identity, purpose, and self-belief.
Where this novel truly shines is in refusing to make romance its primary engine. Before Sabrina and Xavier ever become a couple, they become partners in kindness. Together they create a safe home for vulnerable children, restore a sense of family to those who have lost everything, and quietly encourage one another to rediscover hope.
Some of the novel's most memorable moments have nothing to do with romance at all.
The mural of Noah's Ark, painted collectively by the orphaned children under Sabrina's guidance, beautifully symbolizes hope after catastrophe. Every child contributes, no matter how small the contribution, reinforcing the idea that healing often begins one brushstroke at a time. Watching the withdrawn Geraldine slowly emerge from her trauma through art was one of the novel's most touching storylines.
Equally moving is the history of Xavier's ancestral château. During the Second World War, his grandmother used the property to shelter Jewish children and help them escape Nazi persecution. Decades later, without anyone consciously intending it, that same home once again becomes a refuge, this time for children displaced by the pandemic, abandonment, and abuse. That parallel gives the house a significance that extends far beyond its beautiful architecture.
One of the aspects I admired most was Sabrina as a mother.
She loves her children deeply, yet she refuses to confuse love with enabling. When Justin and Arabella announce an unexpected pregnancy while still financially dependent on their parents, Sabrina responds not with concern for appearances, but with concern for responsibility. She asks the practical questions every parent should ask: How do you intend to provide for this child? How will you support your family while still relying on others to support you? Likewise, when Elizabeth behaves cruelly toward Geraldine out of jealousy, Sabrina immediately confronts her. She refuses to excuse poor behavior simply because it comes from someone she loves. That moral consistency made Sabrina one of Danielle Steel's most admirable protagonists.
Xavier's journey is equally rewarding. After losing his career, he gradually rebuilds his confidence by embracing an entirely new venture restoring historic hotels. Rather than clinging to the identity he lost, he has the courage to reinvent himself. Sabrina never tells him what decisions to make, but she quietly restores the confidence Brigitte spent years tearing down. Their relationship is built not on rescue, but on mutual encouragement. Each helps the other become more fully themselves.
The children themselves become one of the novel's greatest strengths. Luke, Erldy, and Geraldine are never treated as plot devices. Instead, they become part of the family Sabrina and Xavier create together long before romance enters the picture. Watching Xavier naturally embrace these vulnerable children, buying them bicycles, spending time with them, and becoming another dependable adult in their lives was every bit as satisfying as watching the love story unfold.
I also appreciated the way Danielle Steel handled Malcolm's memory. Sabrina's love for Xavier never diminishes the love she shared with Malcolm. The novel wisely acknowledges that grief and new love can coexist. Malcolm is never replaced; instead, Sabrina carries the gratitude of her first marriage while allowing herself permission to build a new chapter.
The novel is not without flaws.
Some plot developments stretch credibility. In particular, I found the explanation involving Luke and Erldy's grandmother difficult to accept. The novel asks the reader to believe that the grandmother somehow learned of her daughter's death in Spain, yet remained completely unaware that her daughter had two young children. That explanation felt underdeveloped and didn't fully withstand scrutiny. Likewise, Xavier's decade-long celibate marriage felt unnecessarily exaggerated. His integrity was already well established, so the extended timeline seemed designed more to emphasize his virtue than to deepen his character.
Fortunately, these weaknesses never overshadow the emotional heart of the story.
Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give The Color of Hope is how it made me feel while reading it.
I was never anxious.
I never felt emotionally manipulated.
I was never asked to sympathize with dishonesty or excuse betrayal.
Instead, I watched fundamentally decent people choose kindness over bitterness, generosity over resentment, and hope over despair. Their happiness felt earned because it grew slowly out of friendship, shared purpose, mutual respect, and compassion.
One of the central messages of the novel is that life rarely unfolds exactly as we plan. Malcolm and Sabrina dreamed of retirement together, only to have ALS steal that future. Xavier lost the career he believed would define his life forever. Yet neither story ends in despair. Instead, Danielle Steel reminds us that what ultimately shapes our lives is not simply what happens to us, but how we respond when everything changes. Xavier's willingness to pivot professionally, coupled with Sabrina's unwavering encouragement, demonstrates that resilience often begins with believing in yourself again, or having someone believe in you until you can.
After finishing Resurrection, I felt emotionally depleted.
After finishing The Color of Hope, I simply felt... hopeful.
That, to me, is the difference between a novel that merely entertains and one that quietly restores your faith in humanity.

A classic novel about love and lost a must read but not for everyone
March 20, 2026
This book reminded me why I stopped reading Steel's book after two I read a few years ago. This book could have been so much more, it had a promising setting, a French village, but there wasn't any description of the French village life, culture, nothing of her liking to live there. So, per story, her choice on where to live was essentially tied to one person and one house.
I did not like:
1. How much emphesys were placed on what brands of clothing/shoes/jewelry characters wore. Characters were described not by personality, not even looks, but what brands they showed up in.
2. Author repeated similar descriptions and texts a lot. Reading half of the page with same info (just rephrased) I read 10 pages back seemed like waste of time and took away from what could have been more other specifics not mentioned.
3. The ugly way author kept desribing Xavier's wife Brigitte. Just because their marriage wasn't working out isn't a reason to call her vile. awful woman. Just becuase she didn't want to wear expenisve clothing and didn't try to look 20 years younger than her age doesn't mean she deserves to be called nasty, ugly, and old. She is Xavier's age (in 50s) and author emphasized how she's now so old, and her hair is graying, and how awful it is that she wears loose clothes, and that she doesn't deserve a man because she looks her age. Just so many ugly statements and calling names regarding her physical appearance, that it was hard to continue the book.
4. The way Sabrina's adult children looked down on helping orphaned children, describing it as something terrible, too much work, dangerous, unnecessary, not their problem, etc. made me roll my eyes at such entitled and selfish way of seeing the less fortunate people.
I liked:
1. History of Chateau, even thought it's mentioned just few times in short sentenses. I wish it was expanded a bit more and weaved into a story in more significance.
2. Part where Sabrina and Xavier both realized and accepted the fact that new generation is differnt and her adult children will not follow parents' rules out of obligation or for the sake of a certain public image.

The Color of Hope is just that, hope. When Sabrina's husband dies suddenly, she feels like her whole world has died with him. He we three children try to help, but the all live far away and have their own lives. She is encouraged to try to move on, one day at a time. Sabrina finally allows herself to slowly move forward. She travels to France and discovered a small town and a beautiful chateau. The owner, Xavier isn't bad either, but he has his own troubles. Watch as Sabrina's new life is empowering her to reach for the stars, even though there we will be some stumbling blocks to overcome. Beautiful story.

3.5 ⭐️ because of the ending
I enjoyed this book, but a lot of it was spent with descriptive writing. I’ll save you the first 50ish pages: Sabrina and Malcolm had a great marriage, raised 3 great kids and were empty nesters, were rich, and were planning on retirement soon and traveling. Then he passed away and threw her into grief and all their plans went away.
Sabrina spends several months mired in her grief then gets out and finds Xavier’s chateaux to rent. I enjoyed seeing their friendship blossom. I was afraid it would be the cheating trope since he was married but it really wasn’t. It was a sweet story and the ending was satisfying, if predictable.
It was a decent book to read between some intense thrillers.

I loved this book! I have read 98% of all Daniel Steele books ever written, and I still enjoy the sensitivity and the emotional depth that her characters possess. However, I would appreciate some change in the aesthetic profile of her main characters. I think that would make them more appealing to a broad across section of people. But overall, his book had many emotional aspects at play that it was most interesting and still credible.
January 20, 2026
this book was fun to read. took place in new york, LA, France, etc. so many places around the world was kind of fun that the main characters kids all lived in different cities around the world. once her husband passed away, she had to start finding a different way to live without him. i loved the things she got into and the love story that came later on. great book.
May 16, 2026
First half was very slow, second half more enjoyable. The writing was quite repetitive and the characters were too simple/perfect in my opinion — not much messy humanness depicted or when it was, it was taken to the extreme. It seemed like there should be a big stressful event in the second half, but that did not happen — that would’ve strengthened the book
January 31, 2026
I really enjoyed reading this book, it was an easy read. The storyline caught your interest and kept you curious what would happen next. The authors description of the locations of the story line were very vivid.

Had to read this for an in person book club. It was better than I anticipated, but that isn’t much. Good for a beach book.

I really like this Danielle Steel book. It was a light hearted read, a fast read. It was a little predictable but sometimes you just need to read a book like this one.

Would have DNF if I wasn’t listening via audiobook. A few themes were really beating a dead horse.
December 3, 2025
This was an ok book. It was not a gripper and a quick read. There were no surprises.
