In The Gift we meet Amy who is trying to give Gray, her boyfriend, the perfect Christmas he has ever had. The next day she plans to break up with him. Messed up, right? Who does that?This is a short story and a Christmas one so everything turns out prefect of course, however, there was a bit of mystery thrown in and even a touch of paranormal.While getting the Christmas dinner ready on Christmas eve, Amy is thinking about how she would like a child and then there is a knock on the door. Lo and behold, it's a child. She is dirty, cold and obviously neglected. It takes a bit of a turn there with Dora there but, since I expect it with Christmas novellas I expected everything to work out. What happened to Dora was messed up though and to her mother? I couldn't imagine.This was a good story for a short one and definitely a happily ever after. Super quick read at 36 pages but a good one.
