Title : Gone - Danielle Steel - Book Summary : On the eve of World War II, the Pattersons—Marielle, Malcolm, and their son Teddy—lead a seemingly trouble-free life in their luxurious apartment on New York's East Side. In reality, dark secrets torment the couple... Every year, Marielle lights a candle on St. Patrick's Day, in memory of little André, the child of a secret first marriage, who died in a tragic accident. This year, in the vast cathedral, the young woman runs into Charles Delauney, her first husband, her childhood sweetheart, an "expatriate" artist who has returned to the country to watch over his sick old father. A glance, a light touch of the hand, and the past resurfaces between these two passionate beings. Shortly after, tragedy strikes: Teddy is kidnapped. The police immediately consider Charles the prime suspect. Led briskly by the seductive John Taylor, an FBI special agent, the investigation nevertheless stalls. Arrested and charged, Charles, who maintains his innocence, must appear in court. But who is guilty, if Charles isn't? As the trial unfolds, the actors in the drama, Malcolm and even Marielle, are in turn implicated. Like a monstrous puzzle, the truth gradually emerges. A truth that is not necessarily good to hear...

Title : The Substitute - Prince Harry - Book Summary : Translated from English by Nathalie Bru and Santiago Artozqui It's one of the most enduring images of the 20th century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in grief—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions of people wondered what the princes were thinking, how they were feeling—and how their lives would turn out from now on. For Harry, the time has finally come to tell his story. Before losing his mother, twelve-year-old Prince Harry was a carefree child, a cheerful Alternate alongside a more reserved Heir. Grief changed everything: difficulties at school, difficulty managing his anger, difficulty coping with loneliness—and, because he blamed the press for his mother's death, difficulty accepting that his life was being spent in the spotlight. At twenty-one, he joined the British Army. Discipline gave him a sense of direction, and two overseas deployments made him a hero at home. Soon, however, he felt more lost than ever, a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks that paralyzed him. Above all, he was still waiting for true love. Then he meets Meghan. The world has been captivated by their Hollywood-worthy romance; it has rejoiced at their fairytale wedding. But from the start, Harry and Meghan have been hounded by the press, forced to face wave after wave of abuse, racism, and lies. Witnessing his wife's suffering, aware of the danger to their safety and mental health, Harry has found no better way to prevent history from repeating itself than by fleeing his homeland. Throughout the centuries, few have dared to leave the royal family. The last to try, in fact, was his mother... For the first time, Prince Harry tells his own story. Raw and unvarnished in its honesty, The Substitute is a landmark book, full of insights, revelations, self-reflections, and hard-learned lessons about the eternal power of love in the face of heartbreak.  Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is a husband, father, humanitarian, and war veteran. He is an environmental activist and advocates for mental well-being. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his family and their three dogs.
