520    It's the summer of 1959 and the Palace of Versailles is 
       hosting an event that will make history. It is an 
       exclusive dusk to dawn ball in which a select group of 
       American and French debutantes will be presented to 
       international society and royalty. Four young women, all 
       with something to prove, receive what some see as the 
       invitation of a lifetime. Amelia Alexander, who hopes to 
       eventually attend law school, hesitates to participate in 
       what she sees as an archaic and privileged tradition. But 
       her indomitable widowed mother, Jane, who's struggled 
       financially and sacrificed for a career, encourages her to
       attend. Jane would do anything for Amelia to have the 
       chance at happily ever after. Felicity Smith is equally 
       uncertain about the ball. Although her family is prominent
       in the Dallas social scene, Felicity prefers to keep to 
       herself, avoiding the older sister who torments her. But 
       to get out of her sister's shadow, Felicity decides to 
       accept. If it's a success, the tables will have turned at 
       last. For Caroline Taylor, the beautiful ingenue and 
       daughter of Hollywood legends, the ball is an irresistible
       opportunity. But an unexpected heartbreak just before she 
       leaves for France gets things off to a bad start. Then 
       there's Samantha Walker, an art history major with an 
       overprotective father. Her excitement about the invitation
       is overshadowed by the emotional and physical effects of a
       past tragedy that still haunts her. For all these young 
       women, Paris and one transcendent night will change their 
       lives forever. Bestselling author Danielle Steel extends 
       an invitation to all, in The Ball at Versailles.
