Perfect Gifts: Perfect Gifts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952685316)

Moving forward sometimes first requires facing the past. Not until former failures are acknowledged and old wounds are healed can steps be taken toward a better future. At the dawn of 1930 and more than four years into his marriage, Charles Hollister is preoccupied with the global economic collapse and constant reminders that he's not getting any younger. Plagued by a lack of self-confidence and the pain of unresolved issues, Charles becomes demanding, suspicious, and alienates the two people closest to him. In short, he's his own worst enemy. But he's plagued with questions only his aging father can answer, and time is running out. Then, the arrival of a shocking message threatens to destroy Charles's marriage and disrupt his accustomed way of life. Through a series of disturbing events, he learns that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes be blessings in disguise, perfect in every way.
