Summary: Heartwarming Story of Hope and The Gift of Love...
Review: I must say, I loved this book. It was so heartfelt and sad at times, yet it picked up where it should and I was smiling through tears.
Not really a typical tale here, this one is kinda different. It is based in the 50's, which is new for me. About a girl who gets pregnant by the highschool hero and is left to fend for herself and all the consequences that come with it, including a tyrantical father and meek, timid mother who won't speak up for her. She must go miles and miles from home to find hope and love. What she gets is far more than she could've dreamed. Actually there are two stories here and they get intertwined.~MaryBeth Robertson is alone and 16 and pregnant. Her father has kicked her out until she 'takes care of her problem'. The year is 1950. She has nowhere to go, so she boards a bus and lets it take her wherever. She ends up in a small town 250 miles from her own small hometown in Iowa. She runs into a boy her age who seems distraught and in need of hope and a friend. Tommy Whittaker is suffering from the recent loss of his little sister Annie. Annie died the day after Christmas the year before and the family was torn asunder from it. His parents no longer talked to each other and he was left to deal with his own grief, until he meets a young woman who brings light into his bleak world. Tommy and MaryBeth find hope and love in their short time together and his parents begin healing. Can MaryBeth give them the 'Gift' that will make them whole again? Is she an angel passing through their lives for but a moment?
Very heartwarming tale that will make you weepy at times, but happy you indulged. Tracy Talley~@

Summary: The Gift
Review: The author, Danielle Steel, caught my eye right away and held it throghtout this book. As Elizabeth Wittaker (the main character) still believed in dreams, everything had started changing; dreams had definitely left her beliefs. To begin, a happy home was destroyed by a child's senseless death. Nothing had seemed to matter throughtout Elizabeth's life after that. Throughtout this story, I seemed to relate to Annie the most (Elizabeth's daughter). When she suddenly became sick and senseless, I could relate to that. Personally, throughtout reading this book, when Annie was rushed to the hospital, I felt as though something had been the matter with me and I needed a doctor. At that point in the story, Elizabeth had felt that her little girl would nver, once again, wake up; as probably my parents wold feel too. Before reading this book, I had expected to maked a personal connecton, and be able to feel what the actual characters were feeling. Indeed, this book definitely fulfilled my expectations.Throughout the explicit details told during the story between the characters and the true meaning of this book, I got the reality of the book right in fornt of me. I would most definitley read this book, if you had not already!

Summary: Am I the only one? ...
Review: I really wasn't that crazy about this book. I love Danielle Steel, but I guess I like reading more of her stories about adult relationships, whereas this was focused more on young teenage love, trials, and tribulations. It wasn't a bad book, if you are interested in this storyline, but for me, I prefer her stuff like: Lone Eagle, Irresistable Affairs, etc.

Summary: The Gift by Danielle Steel
Review: Although I am not an avid Steel reader I thought this book was very good. The grieving process of this family was very realistic. The parallel of a young mother who would also be going through her own grieving process (giving up her child) Mixed together with the hopes and dreams of young lovers. The gift is 'love' encompassing both the joys and the sadness it brings. I found this book very emotive and moving.

Summary: Steel has done it again!
Review: As usual, I couldn't put it down until I found out what happened! I own almost all of her books and eagerly wait for the next!

Summary: One of Steel's better books.
Review: I don't useually read Danille Steel becuase the first one I read of hers wasn't very good. But I have to say that this one was not so bad at all. I read this book expecting to to be dull and boring, but what I got was a great story with colerful characters. I would reccomend this novel to anyone who wants to read a good book. The only reason I had to take off one star was becuase it was too short, and she kept on repeating things, and reminding us of things that weren't neccesary. What is this book about?: The gift is about two lovers who have a baby, and a family who has been wanting a baby for a while, but is unable to have one.

Summary: Beautiful Story!
Review: I listened to this book first on audio. But after I was finished listening, I had to go out and buy the book to read once more. It's definately my favourite Danielle Steel book I have read. The story about a young 15-year-old girl and how she found comfort in a new family is so heartwarming. I definately recommend this book to everyone. Especially mothers and those expecting!

Summary: THe Gift
Review: The book The Gift is one of the best books I have read. One reason you should read this book is because it has a really good point to the story. The next reason is the young lady in the story made you feel apart of the story. The last reason is because this could happen to you or someone you know and you should be aware. In conclusion I think this is a very good book and everybody should read it.
