Olympia Crawford Rubinstein has a busy legal career, a solid marriage, and a way of managing her thriving family with grace, humor, and boundless energy. With twin daughters finishing high school, a son at Dartmouth, and a kindergartner from her second marriage, there seems to be no challenge to which Olympia cannot rise. Until one sunny day in May, when she opens an invitation for her daughters to attend the most exclusive coming-out ball in New Yorkâ€“and chaos erupts all around her. One twinâ€™s excitement is balanced by the otherâ€™s outrage; her previous husbandâ€™s profound snobbism is in sharp contrast to her current husbandâ€™s flat refusal to attend.

For Olympiaâ€™s husband, Harry, whose parents survived the Holocaust, the idea of a blue-blood debutante ball is abhorrent. Her daughter Veronica, a natural-born rebel, agreesâ€“ while Veronicaâ€™s identical twin, Virginia, is already shopping for the perfect dress. Then thereâ€™s Olympiaâ€™s ex, an insufferable snob, who sees the ball as the perfect opportunity for a family feud. And amid all the hubbub, Olympiaâ€™s college-age son, Charlie, is facing a turning point in his lifeâ€“and may need his mother more than ever. But despite it all, Olympia is determined to steer her family through the event until, just days before the cotillion, things begin to unravel with alarming speed.

From a sonâ€™s crisis to a daughterâ€™s heartbreak, from a case of the chicken pox to a political debate raging in her household, Olympia is on the verge of surrender. And that is when, in a series of startling choices and changes of heart, family, friends, and even a blue-haired teenager all find a way to turn a night of calamity into an evening of magic. As old wounds are healed, barriers are shattered and new traditions are born, and a debutante ball becomes a catalyst for change, revelation, acceptance, and love.

In a novel that is by turns profound, poignant, moving, and warmly funny, Danielle Steel tells the story of an extraordinary familyâ€“finding new ways of letting go, stepping up, and coming out...in the ways that matter most.
