Synopsis:
GIFTS elegantly and dramatically captures a major shift in singer-songwriter Amanda Sinclair’s life, triggered by the loss of her mother. Hoping to find herself, Amanda slides into an identity crisis. Her sister, stepfather, ex-boyfriend, agent, and co-stars must compete for her attention against a fantastic world found inside her favorite childhood book of poems and illustrations.
Review:
Amanda lost her mother recently, and she is suffering. She feels lost and more like a zombie going through life. She has lost her spark and is simply going through the motions. She no longer feels connected to her life or the things happening on a daily basis.
This feeling of hopelessness, disconnection, and not knowing how to move forward comes across very well. Losing the most important person in your life is something no one wants to go through.
This is a story about finding her way back to life, learning what is important, and being confronted with a new reality. I didn’t see the ending coming, and it connected a lot of the puzzle pieces in a way that made sense.
This one felt unique and special. Will it be for everyone? Maybe not. It took me a while to get into it and understand the direction the story was taking. Once it clicked, I appreciated the journey the author took me on.
