Daniel's Gift

This book has a special place in my heart, Nine months ago my son also was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And he died of brain trauma. At the time we recieved a lot of books of how to cope with the loss of a child. But Daniel's gift has helped me more to come to term with my loss than anything else I have read. Thank you Ms Barbara Freethy

Daniel's Gift

Unknowingly to me, there were tears flowing down my cheeks as I held my breath reading rapidly in order to learn if Danny lives or dies. The unique gift Danny brings to his mother, Jen, who has raised him since birth without alerting Danny's biological father, Luke, of Danny's existence, is VERY touching. Having children on the brink of teenage years myself and not knowing how they really feel, was accurately depicted in Freethy's development of Danny, a teenage boy who goes in search of his father. Upon returning to his mother from his first glimpse of his father's lavish life, Danny is hit by a car and slips into a coma. The tragedy brings his mother and father face to face. Luke, thinking the baby, Danny, had been aborted, is astonished to learn that he has a son. The devotion and love Jen has for her son makes Luke realize the loss he will have if he isn't given the opportunity to know Danny and re-acquaint himself with his soul-mate, Jen. I am now on a mission to read other books by Barbara Freethy.

My favorite book of the year!

I just finished one of the most emotional love stories I have ever read. This is one incredible book. All the characters are interesting, people I felt I knew. I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put this book down until the very end, despite the fact that I had to reach for Kleenex several times. If you like stories that tug at the heart, this one is definitely for you!

Incredible story!!!

I just discovered this book, had read Barbara's more recent titles, but had no idea what I was missing. This is a wonderful story, so poignant and heartwarming that I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. I love reunion stories, but this one was particularly tender because of the little boy and his intense wish to know his father. All I can say is WOW! Don't miss this book.

angels and miracles!!

This was such a heartwarming story of a mother's love for her child, and the struggles of raising a cchild alone. Jenny and Luke met when they were just young kids, fell in love, got pregnant, and Luke wanted nothing to do with a child because his parents already had his life mapped out for him. Luke dumps Jenny and tells her to have an abortion but she couldn't go thru with it. Jenny has her son and raises him alone for 12 years, but as he grows up he wants to know about his dad and grandparents. So, he takes off to find his dad and gets in an accident on his way back home which puts him in a coma. Meanwhile, he meets his guardian angel who guides him back to life, and brings his mother and father back together. Daniels then comes out of his coma so that they can all be a family. A real touching story for anyone who is a mom and knows the special joy and bond between you and your child
