Dove Review

Della and Jim both make sacrifices in order to buy the perfect Christmas present for each other. But when Della takes a second job to make enough money to buy Jim a present, she decides to lie to him about where she is spending her time. Even the best intended lies can bring about some fairly bad results. That is the case with Della and Jim. Deceit has no place in a marriage but when you admit to the truth, the misunderstandings can be corrected.

“The Gift of the Magi” is a cute retelling of a classic tale. We are pleased to award this delightful story our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 and over.
