Review: A mother's love! - 4 1/2 STARS! Danielle Steel's latest release CHILD'S PLAY brings us the story of an accomplished woman who portrays the perfect life and how it all plays out when the perfect things in her life turn out to have crumbling foundations. It shows the emotion a person goes through as things in life don't go exactly as planned, but also has a very strong foundation of loving no matter what. I really enjoyed it and found it to be pretty fast paced. Kate Morgan was an easily redeemable character. She kept parts of her life secret from her kids until a time when it seemed it might be a stepping stone to show them she understood how life can sometimes get away from you no matter how much you try to stay on course. She showed great restraint when faced with adversity and showed a beautiful side of a parent's love supporting their child no matter the decisions and mistakes they made. Eldest child Tamara came across as a bit distracted and cold to a bystander, but she was supportive of her mother and siblings and once we got to enter the true sanctuary of her world, her true side emerged with a softness that made her shine. Middle child Anthony seemed like the one with the biggest heart and put in the most effort with the mom he adored. His fall from grace was a bit spectacular and redeeming him took a bit of work. The spoiled baby of the family Claire quickly turned into a nightmare of an attitude. She was never totally redeemed but she was relaxed a tad towards the end. Overall, I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a close-knit single parent story that showcases her devotion to her kids and her support as they live their way into their happily ever afters before she relaxes into her own.
Review: ** Loved It ** - I have read and loved many of Danielle Steel's books. Child's Play is a revealing tale of one mother's life. Kate Morgan was widowed nineteen years ago and has singlehandledly raised her three children. She has it in her head that they have to be perfect. She has really set the bar high. Her son is engaged to Amanda who Kate feels would be the perfect wife for him. Not sure if her son agrees with her but she persists. Claire is headstrong, stubborn and very independent. She is also quite dramatic and a spoiled brat. Tammy has a job with a very prestigious fashion house. She has been hiding a secret for a very long time. In the course of less than a year Kate will find out that she really didn't know her children at all. They turn her world upside down. I found that once I started this book I could not put it down. I loved every minute of it and I hope you will too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Physical Quality of book is bad.
*by Y***. on June 8, 2025*

Great read, but the book itself started falling apart by the 15th page!! Bummed about the physical quality of my order. Not sure if it's the maker or the storage, but it should be addressed.
