This review is from: Three Gifts (Kindle Edition)
Three Gifts is a darling romance about sacrificing everything for the sake of someone else's greater good; and how there can be a happy medium without going to extremes. But sometimes a person has to go to self-sacrificing extremes to discover how much they are truly loved.Such is the case with Jack. His life revolves around his grandmother--the woman who'd raised him after he'd been orphaned--and Molly, the woman he adores. Three Gifts begins at Thanksgiving, and Jack is challenged to be thankful for his problems. But how is a man who wants only to marry his dream girl supposed to be happy about living in a town with little job prospects? Unemployment equals pushing back a wedding date, much to his and his fiancee's frustration. In the meantime, he does carpentry work to stay busy.
Then there's pretty, long-suffering Molly who is content to work at a job that falls far below her training skills if only to be near Jack and his grandmother. However, Jack refuses to see it that way.
When he discovers Molly has a shot at her dream job in another state, he makes a choice: stay and look after his grandmother whose health is failing, or marry Molly and move away. His choice is a devastating blow to those involved, but nothing short of Three Gifts will change his mind.
Multi-published author, Claire Sanders has done a lovely job of weaving the theme 'it's always darkest before the dawn' through Three Gifts, which is sure to become a Christmas classic.

I read this book in one sitting and was rewarded with a full heart, wonder at how God works, and an appriciation for the struggles of young people in this day of little job opportunity.Claire has drawn her characters with broad, loving strokes that ring true.
Jack, in love with his Molly, is a tormented young man, one dedicated to give his future family security. Though a Christian, he hangs on to his own plans, not asking for God's guidance. He quickly finds that a man's plans, no matter how decent or noble, do not always fit in with God's Perfect Plan for his life.
Molly loves Jack and is unwilling to see him sacrifice his plan for her future happiness. She finds that hiding her opportunity to obtain the job of her dreams from Jack, backfires terribly.
Julia, Jacks Nana (who has raised him since he was orphaned) wants only the best for Jack and Molly. How can she prove this?
Read this tender, insightful tale and find out how the grace of God is the only problem-solver we can depend upon.
