A special reissue of a bestselling and award - winning Australian classic from popular author Steven Herrick. My hand in his stops trembling, for a moment. When the paths of a runaway teenage boy, an old hobo and a rich girl intersect in an abandoned train yard, each carries their own personal baggage. Over early mornings, long walks and cheap coffee they discover, no matter how big or small, it's the simple gifts in life that really make a difference. A life - affirming look at humanity, generosity and love.
Oh Steven Herrick I have fallen in love with your writing! I read Another Night in Mullet Town, then Slice and now The Simple Gift = I am hooked.
The Simple Gift was beautiful. I actually hugged the book at the end.
This is a story of friendship and second chances, of healing and new love. Caitlin, Billy & Old Bill; three people from different walks of life brought together by circumstance with the result being that they all end up making each other’s life better.
