The Gift: Cecelia Ahern

Lou is a busy man, always needing to be two places at one time. He doesn't have time to listen to his wife or spend time with his children. He meets a homeless man, Gabe, outside his office block and being intrigued offers him a job in the mail room. Then Lou starts to be uncomfortable with him when Gabe seems to be in two places at one time. Who is this guy and why is he so popular with the rest of the staff? As Christmas gets nearer Lou begins to realise the value of time with his family and doing things for the joy of it. He belatedly discovers what is important in life yet it is the hardest lesson he will ever learn.
This book has made me value my own family and to appreciate that time spent with them is more important than any job could ever be.
