Karen -
First I would like to explain that I am the kind of person who prefers the old movies over the new "modern" movies. The reason is that I prefer movies to have a happy ending, and many of the movies of today have endings that leave me wanting something different. Also, I don't like watching movies where 10 people are shot down and killed in the first few minutes... yuck. I don't like sappy romance stories or reading through page after page of steamy sex scenes. So....
Although Danielle Steel has written a lot of books, I think THE GIFT was her 34th best seller, this is the first one that I have read of hers. I read some reviews that said it was different from her usual work, but I wouldn't know.
Having explained all that, I have to say I really liked the story. It was sweet and poignant. I guess some would describe it as Chick-lit. Whatever! I read it in one day and I thought it was a very nice story. Life in the 1950s was different than life today, but people still had to make difficult choices and live through hardship and pain.
