    About this audiobook

    Twin boys grow up in the same family, in the same town. Dramatically different, they become bitter enemies, even as children: one good, one bad. One leaves his peaceful hometown, but when all else fails, the prodigal son returns, twenty years later. The reunion of brothers, sweet and healing at first, exposes shattering revelations of good and evil. #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel tells a brilliant, suspenseful story of suspicion, betrayal, and a life-and-death struggle for survival. Which twin is good and which is evil, as the tables turn again and again?

    PRODIGAL SON

    In a matter of days, Peter McDowell loses everything he has worked so hard for-his wealth, his property, his livelihood as a star investment banker. And then it gets worse. The stock market crash not only plunges Peter into joblessness, it causes a rift in his marriage that he cannot repair. Stripped of everything, he has only one place to retreat: a lakeside cottage he inherited from his parents, who left most of their modest estate to Peter's twin. With no other choice, the prodigal son goes home.

    A beloved small-town doctor, a devoted family man, and a pillar of his community, Michael McDowell serves others without regard to personal gain. Only Peter knows how Michael manipulated their parents when the boys were young, ultimately driving Peter away. At first, he dreads seeing Michael again. But, to his surprise, their reunion is tender and real. Only later, as Peter mulls over his late mother's journals, does the truth begin to emerge, as realization and panic set in. Who is his twin? Is the façade real, or does something terrifying lie beneath? Imagination or a reality too terrifying to believe?

    In a race for time, Peter throws caution to the winds to find the truth. What he discovers will change their lives, the lives of their children, and an entire town forever.

    Powerful, poignant, and filled with complex and layered characters, Prodigal Son is a riveting novel of secrets, salvation, and redemption from master storyteller Danielle Steel.

      Prodigal Son provided an interesting contrast between an antisocial personality whose supposed charm has everyone fooled (this guy would actually fall into sociopathy) and a typical misunderstood troublemaker who happen to be fraternal twins. This was a good read. I found myself tempted to sneak a peak to the last chapter but managed to control the urge.

      Prodigal Son by Danielle Steel Have enjoyed many works by the author and know this will be another good read.Starts out with typical life for parents and twin boys. Growing up Michael always wanted to be like his father, the doctor.He marries Maggie and they have a son and daughter. Bill flees to England and starts researching his mothers symptoms...She had fallen once and now her husband is in charge of all her medicines and Bill thinks she's being poisoned.The other son is rather a disappointment to the family and over time he learns about his disability that effects everything he does. He marries and has two boys but with the crash of the stock market he's out of luck and money and houses and cars.His wife Elena flees to LA to live with her father and the boys and he's offered to help Peter also but he needs to do things on his own.Amazing tale of the two families over the years and how they are brought together and more disturbing events occur, will it bring them together or draw them further apart from one another.Love the travel and learning new things.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

      AUTHOR: Steel, DanielleTITLE: Prodigal SonDATE READ: 10/19/15RATING: 4.5/B+GENRE/PUB DATE/PUBLISHER/# OF PGS Fiction/2015/Random House/319 pgs SERIES/STAND-ALONE: SACHARACTERS AUTHOR: Peter and Michael McDowellTIME/PLACE: PresentFIRST LINES Peter McDowell sat in his office, surrounded by cardboard bankers' boxes after what had been the worst week of his life. COMMENTS: A little different for Steel -- involved more of a psychological mystery element. This is the story of 2 twin brothers: Michael is the hometown family doctor and Peter is the big city financial wiz. Growing up the 2 were always at odds and Michael was the one that stayed close to home and followed in his father's footsteps becoming a family physician. Peter grew up w/ undiagnosed dyslexia and was quick to anger. When he went away to college he rarely returned feeling he was not wanted at home. When Peter loses everything in the 2007 financial crash he returns to Ware to the lake cottage he has inherited. Michael has married Maggie an invalid and she convinces her husband to make amends w/ Peter. The 2 are building a relationship … until their past differences become highlighted again. A pleasant, sweet, warm love story and enjoyed the element of suspense.
