Product Description
Product Description
The time is the 1950s, when life was simpler, people still believed in dreams, and family was, very nearly, everything. The place is a small midwestern town with a high school and a downtown, a skating pond and a movie house. And on a tree-lined street in the heartland of America, an extraordinary set of events begins to unfold. And gradually what seems serendipitous is tinged with purpose.
A happy home is shattered by a child's senseless death. A loving marriage starts to unravel. And a stranger arrives - a young woman who will touch many lives before she moves on. She and a young man will meet and fall in love. Their love, so innocent and full of hope, helps to restore a family's dreams. And all of their lives will be changed forever by the precious gift she leaves them.

On a June day, a young woman in a summer dress steps off a Chicago-bound bus into a small midwestern town. She doesn't intend to stay. She is just passing through. Yet her stopping here has a reason, and it is part of a story you will never forget.

Breath catching, heart renching, and warming,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gift (Paperback)
This a a very successful book, which will make u laugh, cry and smile with it's rambling tale of a 16 year old girl, who is set to bring a gift to those who will mean the most to her when she meets them. Danielle Steel shines throughthis book, and allows you watch Maribeth and tommy support each other though their own grievences, and good times. It's written with a subtle magic, that makes you want to reach out and touch the page, as Danielle allows us to make the contact towards the characters. The gift appears in many lights, and in different images, making the best out of the situation, and letting others share the gift....spell binding. I give you the gift.
