Relation Conducive To 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.

I am on holidays from my studies and decided to read a DS novel. Great choice! It was a refreshing and endearing easy read. A 1950's setting which could easily translate to current day, I flew through this without a moment's hesitation. I found this hiding in a draw in the caravan after my summer holiday ~ I bit off more than I could chew with my reading list ~ it would have been perfect for that setting as well. I tend to read DS on holidays, for that simple and comforting reason of light, easy

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

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.



Danielle Steel never fails me ending up in bed, sobering myself to sleep! The words are very simple yet it can absolutely pain a reader's heart.This story is family-based; about a young love that blossomed into something really foolish. She got pregnant and was nowhere to go thus the decision of going somewhere else and start anew.There she met this guy who changed life's meaning. They were ok. In fact, very in love. The guy knew she was pregnant from a previous love and it was rather a romantic
