A magical story of giving, love and healing. If I could only pick one holiday book to read, it would definitely be one from Richard Paul Evans. ( )

Beautiful story of healing and love. ( )

Nathan Hurst is a lonely business man who meets a mother and her two children one snowy night at an airport. By helping them, he changes his life. The family is Addison, the mother, Collin and Elizabeth. The Gift is Collin's ability to heal people, which comes at a price. This boy has leukemia and every time he heals someone, he becomes sicker himself. An easy read. A worthwhile read.

I really enjoyed this book—great storytelling by Evans, as usual. Nathan works as head of security for a music store chain with tons of health issues since birth. With his travels he meets a woman with two children in an airport, stranded and offers to share his hotel suite, as the little boy was a chemo patient. This was the beginning of an amazing relationship. Colin was a special boy with a special gift of healing people; however, it would drain himself and his health when he used this gift. Sadly he was unable to heal himself. With a touch, he heels Nathan and soon after, he falls for Addison, the mother and this sweet family. With some challenges along the way, this book was a very uplifting story about unselfish love, giving, and caring for other---an important lesson for all. ( )

A rather predictable story as many Christmas books are. Some good moments but not enough. ( )
