Plot Summary of Love is a Gift
"16 year old Amy Fleming heals horses at her home in Virginia. Her mother was killed in a car accident and her father was absent for 12 years of her life. She recieves an invitation to visit her father in Australia. But she can't bear that her father has found a replacment for her mother, and while her sister fits in straight away, he feels invisible. I would recommend this book to early teens, happy and heartwarming with a touch of romance."
