It's a lovely story but I can't remember the name of it right off hand. Her son's name was Nicholas and he was bipolar and quit taking his meds.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-5611461515814530762014-08-18T23:01:34.533-07:002014-08-18T23:01:34.533-07:00I had no idea about Danielle Steele's son - ho...I had no idea about Danielle Steele's son - how terrible.
