The Gift

By Richard Paul Evans

I decided since I loved Finding Noel and Grace so much that I'd check out a few other Evans novels. This book was very similar to the others. It was an easy read and I finished it in about four hours. The story line was intriguing and thought provoking. I'm now a Richard Paul Evans fan and will wait excitedly until next Christmas for his new novel.
The novel starts out with a story from the past and then weaves it into the present story the narrator is trying to tell. It involves Tourette's Syndrome, divorce, cancer, and most of all, a love story. It reminded me of Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult, except without the contraversy. I recommend this to anybody who loves the holiday seasons and needs a good cry!
