title: The Gift
author: Marvella, Mary
description: On Edna Mae's 40th birthday she buried her controlling father and lost her virginity in a one night stand with a stranger she never expected to see again. Her life is about to change in more ways than she could have imagined.
  Like Cinderella, she had no real life. The world opens for her now that she has no sick parents demanding all of her attention. Finding new friends and a world she thought had passed her by is wonderful, but there's more!
  THE GIFT is story about an old fashioned woman in a modern world, written in an old fashioned way.
