More DescriptionAmelia's Gift is a captivating story from the heart, based on true events in the life of the author. An inspirational love story on many levels, it portrays the life of Lisa Marie Anderson. An ever-smiling optimist who never misses a meal, she is the daughter of World War II and Korean combat veteran Edward Anderson and loving mother and housewife Amelia. The fourth of six children, Lisa relies on her positive outlook and sense of humor to cope with a father who abuses alcohol. When she later marries a man who also turns to alcohol after twenty years of marriage, her patience and humor are eventually overshadowed. Lisa's life becomes entangled, yet hopeful, with a spirit-guided message from her mother, ballroom dancing, Caribbean cruising, and Alex-a guy who can't seem to find the right wristwatch.
