The Gift is an evocative tale that tells the story of an anonymously sent gift with a mysterious note attached. Moved by the beauty of its message, the recipient-a woman in black dress and pearls-decides not to keep the gift, but to pass it along instead to a friend in greater need. A chain of giving thus begins, where each recipient, so inspired by the mysterious and loving note attached to the gift, passes it along to another, and the gift embarks on a marvelous journey as it travels among friends and family, old and young, near and far-until it reaches its surprise destination. This special book is a wonderful gift not just for the holiday season-but for every gift-giving occasion for years to come.« less
