Rating: 4 out of 5

I think 'The Gift' is a wonderful story of love, loss, and opening oneself to true love again.Amanda Vining had it all: The young man of her dreams, good friends and a college education awaiting her three months after high school graduation. But on graduation night a horrific accident involving the car Amanda and her boyfriend were traveling in and an out-of-control semi-truck that forever changes their lives. After living in complete darkness for the five years following the accident Amanda's miracle happens and she is given renewed hope in the form of a corneal transplant.After the transplant Amanda sees a mysterious stranger almost everywhere she goes. After he visits her coffee shop on numerous occasions, they begin a whirlwind romance but this man has secrets, secrets that just may tear them apart and wound them beyond repair.I did not give this a 5-star rating because of the man's obsession and stalking. That was a little creepy. He was also out of the story for quite a while and I wish there had been more with him in it.
