The Curious Gift

When the Extraordinary Meets the Everyday

By: Peter DeHaan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When grief meets the impossible, one girl must choose between logic and faith.

Madison Monroe's carefully planned senior year shatters when her beloved grandmother dies just before Christmas. Left behind is a mysterious leather-bound book titled How to Make a Difference in the Lives of Other People. Gram's note claims it's her "most treasured possession" and that it "changed my life."

There's just one problem: every single page is blank.

Furious and heartbroken, Madison throws the book across her room and tries to forget about it. But when she dares to look again, handwritten instructions have appeared on the formerly blank page—in her dead grandmother's handwriting. The message is specific, personal, and confusing: "Today, when he asks you to a movie, say 'Yes!' Don't hesitate."

As more supernatural messages appear, Madison is thrust into a world where divine guidance meets everyday life.

Each instruction pushes her further outside her meticulously controlled world. Help the suicidal boy everyone avoids. Befriend the homeless girl. Make peace with the goth student who threatens violence. With each act of obedience, Madison discovers that small moments of courage can literally save lives. But following mysterious orders from beyond the grave means risking her reputation, her carefully laid plans, and her heart.

The book is transforming her life, but Madison still doesn't understand how—or why.

Between navigating her complicated feelings for Jason (who insists they’re “just friends”), helping quiet Ryan find confidence, and watching broken lives piece back together, Madison begins to realize the great power behind these supernatural instructions. And each message is preparing her for something bigger than she ever imagined.

In a world that demands proof, sometimes the greatest power comes from faith in the impossible.

Perfect for readers who love contemporary stories with heart, clean romance with genuine emotion, and faith-based themes woven naturally into real-world struggles. The Curious Gift explores what happens when heaven intersects with the everyday, and one girl learns that the most extraordinary life begins with simply saying yes.
