About this audiobook
Fast forward thirty-eight years. Robert is a hardworking independent book publisher in Manhattan, who has given up all personal life to build his struggling business. He is looking for one big hit novel to publish. Lillibet is a young Amish woman, living as though in the seventeenth century, caring for her widowed father and three young brothers on their family farm. In secret at night, by candlelight, she has written the novel that burns within her, and gets it into Robert's hands, wrapped in her hand-stitched apron. He falls in love first with the book, and then with the woman he has never met, living in the sequestered world of the Amish-a world without telephones, computers, electricity, modern conveniences, or cars. Although Lillibet faces banishment from her family and community, she embraces the opportunity to publish her novel, and is irresistibly drawn to the man who has heard her voice. Destiny is at work here. Fate draws her from her horse-and-buggy life toward his, and the publication of her novel.
In the hands of master storyteller Danielle Steel, these two remarkable relationships come together in unexpected and surprising ways, as lovers are lost, and find each other again. If it is true that real love lasts forever and lovers cannot lose each other, then Until the End of Time will not only comfort and fascinate us, as destiny does her dance, but it will give us hope as well. Love and fate are powerful, irresistible forces, as Steel proves to us here, in a book about courage, change, risk, and hope . . . and love that never dies.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was very surprised that I like this book as it is not a genre I read. My neighbor lent it to me so I felt obligated to read it. It is very simply written but endearing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very different book, it includes two love stories. Alike, but yet, very different.The book is a very fast read, took me less than a day. I found the first story was captivating, and a refreshing love story. Two people who loved each other so much. Their lives were complete, except for a child. We travel with them, each supporting the other. Willing to make ultimate sacrifices to help the other.Now one of my big problems was the fact that the husband goes to Divinity School, he helps others with his Jail and and Abuse Ministries. He is sharing help, and beliefs in God, but as a Christian believing in reincarnation. No!The other story about Old Order Amish was good, but again a bit unbelievable. That one you will have to judge for yourself, as I don't want to giveaway spoilers. Just know that the Father would not change his belief system so much.Now I would read the book, and you will enjoy it, just take it as a fairy tale.I received this book from the Publisher Delacorte Press, and Net Galley, and was not required to give a positive review.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book. Different from Danielle's usual style.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book started off slow for me. I almost decided not to read it but knowing Danielle Steel writes such good books I kept going. Chapter 6 is when the book turned around for me and I didn't put the book down until I finished it. I recommend this book because it is a good story with strong characters in both sections (yes there are two parts to this story) & both are good & you don't really understand it until you get near the end. Sad parts, sweet parts, hard parts, good parts. All parts make an exceptional story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It has been many years since I have read a Danielle Steel novel. Why in the world did I wait this long to pick up another one of her books? I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning two nights in a row to finish this book.
I enjoyed this story immensely! I bawled my eyes out at the end of the first story. It was such a beautiful but sad story in the way it ended. Then the second story makes it all worth it. The happy ending after all! The two star-crossed lovers find their way back to each other after all. Hooray! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Not my favorite DS book. Actually very disappointed.
This was the story of 2 couples who believe that when you die you come back as someone else.
I don't believe this but even if I did how did the second couple come back as the first couple? There was nothing similar about them.
The second women was labeled as Old Order Amish, this was not portrayed properly in my opinion. I have done a lot of reading on Amish and I felt this was so far out there for Amish in general but for Old Order Amish, it would never happen this way. I almost feel as if she did them injustice.
I did enjoy the story of Bill and Jenny but again just a little more unrealistic to me. Very un DS like. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good Danielle Steel book, different from her usual type, though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Good story about two people who meet and find they have an attraction that makes them build a relationship that pulls them to want a future with each other.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorites of her books, I loved it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While I did enjoy this book, I thought it was a bit of an odd story...I read the synopsis before listening, and now that I've completed it, I just don't understand the connection between the stories of the 2 couples. I'm wondering if I missed something.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wonderful story of love and kindness. Timely in our hectic world of today, easily believable and illicits many smiles and nods of understanding.
