My Review:
Based on a true story, His Gift, is the story of Molly who finds her dreams of being a concert pianist dissolving with the 1929 crash of the stock market.
A heartwarming coming of age story, about dreams and how they change. Molly is a gifted young woman, with a talent for music and the dedication to really go somewhere with her gift. I loved how supportive her friends and family were of her dreams, even though times were changing.
This story is well written, with realistic characters, delving deep into Molly's faith and the difficult questions about her future that she faces. A story of friendship, family, faith, God's providence and provision. Straightforward and heartwarming, a wonderful coming of age tale of growth and faith.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
