Published: 26/02/2026

Felicia’s Favourites is a powerful story of family secrets – and one mother’s extraordinary legacy – from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Felicia Weston leaves her five daughters more than just cherished memories as it is revealed that she led a double life, having kept her celebrated pen name and extraordinary career as a famous bestselling novelist a long-held secret.

Devastated by the loss of their mother and wishing they’d known her better, the girls learn that her legacy included a substantial inheritance and a picturesque Connecticut a sanctuary where Felicia wrote most of her novels and enjoyed a loving relationship of which her daughters had no knowledge.

Each of the sisters is confronting a personal crossroads. From mending the scars of a disastrous marriage and navigating life-altering injuries, to untangling forbidden loves and facing the harsh light of truth on infidelity, each journey is as unique as the women themselves.

Bound by blood and complexity, can the precious sanctuary their mother left behind be the catalyst for individual renewal and family unity? Or will it simply unravel the threads that bind them?

The pain of loss brings blessings of its own. And love, betrayal, secrets, and the enduring legacy of one remarkable mother can transform lives forever.
