The Gift
(Haliaeetus Publishing Jan. 5, 2020)
Twelve-year-old Zach Douglas’s mood is grim. A storm cloud surrounds him. He is on the way to the hospital with his mother to say goodbye to a friend. The storm literally grows as his mood darkens with each passing mile. Despite the holiday decor and spirit of the season, visiting a dying friend is the last thing he wants to do; yet, unknown to him, he has something special to give with profound implications.
