<p>GIFTED is a timeless story of love, courage and redemption. In the shadow of New Hampshire's granite hills, three people with little in common find their lives indelibly intertwined. Devan McAllister is a misunderstood seventeen-year-old, a thorn to those frustrated by his ADD, yet content within. Devan lives life on the fringes of high school by choice, but suddenly finds himself at the center of a life-changing struggle. He begins to hear classmates' thoughts and feel their emotions. Devan must overcome self-doubt when he hears the desperate cries of socialite Grace Sullivan. His dilemma escalates when he discovers a secret that threatens the school's principal. Banished to detention, Devan finds unexpected wisdom and friendship in custodian Abraham Thompson, who helps him understand that his intuition is a gift and challenges him to live with a larger purpose. Devan must choose whether to embrace his gift or run from it. In the end, his decision will determine whether a young girl lives to see another sunrise, and whether an aging janitor passes through the sunset of his life with no regrets. This compelling drama will tempt you to turn the pages quickly, but the profound insight into relationships will compel you to savor each scene. An intricately woven story with richly drawn characters, GIFTED reminds us that true love is selfless, and that our weaknesses are often our greatest gifts.
