"I always write for women like me. It's through my interaction with other women that I've found there are some personal and emotional struggles that are typical," said Anita Stansfield. "I hope my writing makes women feel better about themselves and shows them these real problems can be solved through gospel principles."

A decent short story. It was refreshing that there was no romance involved, just faith and healing. This was clearly later reworked into the novel Winds of Hope in the Jayson Wolfe series, some of the wording is identical, it works better there, here the HEA comes a bit too quickly to seem real.

I'm sure to the right person (and probably to most people) this is a great little book. But I found it a little unrealistic. This was my first brush with Anita Stansfield, and the only reason I read it was because of a Book Club assignment.
I like most all genres except "books that focus on important contemporary issues." I don't like reading these kinds of books. Why??? I think I read to escape from them not to be reminded of them.

This is my first attempt at reading something by Anita Stansfield. The Gift is a short story about a young man who relies on his family to help him overcome an addiction to prescription drugs. Throughout his experience, he rediscovers Christ and his own love for music.
The author's approach to drug addiction seemed a little too fluffy for me.
