Very good read!
From the publisher:
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.

Just found the book. This is my first...can't wait to tell you guys all about it.
I caught this wonderful book by a friend of mine on here, MissLucy101. This book is a great story about a 16 year old girl that let a hunky senior of her high school talk all sweet to her one night, and one thing lead to another. It's based back when women didn't work or go to college. And if a boy got them in to trouble...well they were sent away from home. This book really makes you think about the angels that passes through our lives and how much a blessing they are to us while they are here. I really suggest that someone pick this book up. Thank you MissLucy101 for suggesting me to read it. I will leave this book at Variety Pick-up in Oakboro, NC.
