Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Gift
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 that you will never forget. 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. The Gift, Danielle Steel's thirty-third best-selling work, is a magical story told with stunning simplicity and power. It reveals a relationship so moving it will take your breath away. And it tells a haunting and beautiful truth about the unpredictability—and the wonder—of life.

Even though this book is more than 20 years old and more than likely I read it prior, wow, what a great story about adoption from the mother's point of view. I can remember growing up here in the Midwest during the 1950/1960 era when unwed pregnant women were looked at differently than todays common place occurance. No matter what the era, life is precious and this gift changes people. Happy to re-read this book.I loved this book. Its like a romantic tale of two lovers that were brought together by chance. This book shows how one person can change your life. It shows how a family could be broken apart by the loss of one person and then repaired with the gift of another!! Great novel!!! One of my favorites by Danielle Steel. This book got me into her novels to begin with. If you have the chance read this book
Wow! One of those books you read so long ago that you forgot about it! Discovered again/reminded about thanks to Goodreads. I marked it as read, however since it's been 'so' long, I'm not rating it. Just remember reading it and liking it back then......memory lane.
Probably my favourite one of her's, next to "The Klone and I". As a favourite author of my mothers, I got to read a few of her books and I love her writing style. This for me was a quick read, but it's such a lovely story and I ended up rereading it so many times. Worth the read, at least once. (:
This is my first contemporary read. It was good well written and good characters. No one was bad in the books. Everyone was good 😁. .I liked her thoughts that ppl come into our life for a reason and leave after the work is done. It's the thing which I too believe in. .I guess it was kind off informative book for living life. .It's not my genre but I like it. I can read such book once in a while.
This is a heart warming, compassionate and yet inspirational book about two families that have suffered tragedies and are trying to get their lives back. Loss is part of this book and unfortunately in life everyone at some point will face loss of their loved ones. In the first part of the book you meet a perfect and happy family of Whittaker that loves each other very much. Whittakers are a family of four: John, Liz, Tommy and Annie. Tommy was an only child until he was ten. The parents, John
