The Gift

By: Bernspen

Seventeen-year-old Caleb has stopped making plans for the future.

Living with advanced heart disease, he knows his heart may fail before he has had the chance to experience the life he imagined. His doctors tell him a transplant could save him-but there is no guarantee that a donor heart will become available in time.

Then Caleb discovers a quiet park and an old man named Noel sitting alone on a bench, feeding pigeons.

Noel is homeless, but there is something about him that Caleb cannot understand. He notices people everyone else ignores. He carries an old notebook filled with observations, memories, and lessons learned through loss. And slowly, almost without realizing it, Caleb begins to change.

The Gift is a heartfelt story about mortality, friendship, forgiveness, generosity, and the quiet ways one person's life can continue through another. It is a story about being seen-and about learning what to do with the life we are given.
