REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:
Joanne Huist Smith, the author and first-person narrator of The 13th Gift, is hanging by a thread and trying to keep herself and her three kids together after the death of her husband just months before Christmas. With so many family traditions during the holidays that centered around her departed husband, Joanne and her daughter and two sons are each dealing with the tragedy in different, heartbreaking ways – and a special random act of kindness starts to bring them together. A touching story and incredible journey, Mrs. Smith’s recounting is real and offers anyone grieving during the holidays some hope.
