Following the unexpected death of her beloved husband, art gallery owner Samantha Thompson finds herself adrift in their Malibu beach house. Her three adult children - scattered from New York to London to Milan - are concerned for her well-being and encourage her to take a trip to Paris. An impulsive day trip from Paris to Biarritz leads Samantha to discover the charming medieval village of Arcangues in the Basque countryside, with its unique and iconic blue shutters and historic chateau. The chateau is the ancestral home of Xavier de Bonport, who is trapped in a loveless marriage and trying to dig himself out financially after a business failed due to the pandemic. He needs rental income as urgently as Samantha needs a refuge. With Xavier living in a smaller house on the property, Samantha begins to transform the chateau into a temporary home. As they each sense compassion, resilience, and kindness in the other, a friendship blossoms. Inspired by the stories of Xavier's grandmother, who saved hundreds of Jewish children during World War II, Smanatha considers fostering some children at the request of the local Dominican nuns, whose orphanage is filled to capacity. As a newfound family begins to fill the chateau, Samantha and Xavier wonder is their friendship is becoming something more. A poignant story of healing and new beginnings, the Color of Hope is an uplifting and unforgettable novel from the master, Danielle Steel.
