Yet her stopping here has a reason, and it is part of a story that you will never forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe time is the 1950's, when life was simpler, people still believed in dreams, and family was, very nearly, everything.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE GIFT, Danielle Steel's 33rd bestselling work, is a magical story told with stunning simplicity and power.
