Happy #bookishbirthday to Danielle Steel! She's 70 today.
She's the 4th bestselling fiction author & has sold over 800 mil copies of her books. She's also an activist! She lost a son 20 yrs ago. In his honor she founded the Nick Traina Foundation to raise money for mental illness orgs. She also started the Yo! Angel Foundation, a street outreach program for San Francisco's homeless, to get them supplies/funds.

Shortstack Just opened up Litsy to see this wonderful post at the top of my feed! I had no idea she was so incredible! Thanks for shining a new light on an author I hadn't thought about much! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #womenkickass 7y
elkeOriginal I feel silly for not taking her seriously based on her writing genre - love the quote above and knowing she's a humanitarian. And I knew she couldn't top Agatha Christie's sales (no.1 seller of all time)! #awesomeladies #ftg #topoftheheap 7y
