HOPE IS SHATTERED... La esperanza se destruye No amount of money can keep heartbreak away: Delia Yebarra learned that painful lesson after a boating tragedy ended her fairy-tale romance with Adan Bovia, a wealthy politician's son. But when she discovers she is carrying his child, Delia has no choice but to live under the watchful eye of Adan's powerful father, who blamed Delia for the deadly accident but soon puts her health and the safe delivery of his grandchild above his resentments. Or so Delia believed. BUT LOVE BRINGS NEW LIFE... Pero el amor sopla una nueva vida For Adan's father intends to use his connections to blackmail Delia. A cruel nursemaid monitors her every move. And a manipulative schemer orchestrates a reunion with Delia's cousin Edward -- a visit with grave consequences. But after tiny Adan Jr. arrives, Delia is no longer fighting for herself but for everything she ever believed, back when she was a Mexican country girl. Can Delia recapture the innocence of her roots and make a bright future for her family? No library descriptions found. |

DELIA'S GIFT is the final chapter in the saga of Delia Yebarra.
The start of the story finds Delia moving into Adan's home to live with his father until the birth of her child. With Adan gone, Delia's child has brought new hope to Senor Bovio.
Delia is ensconced in the plush room that had belonged to Adan's mother. The room has been untouched since she left. Senor Bovio goes to extreme measures to ensure the health of the baby. He commissions new clothing and shoes for Delia and insists that new pieces are made on a regular basis. He has the doctor come to the house to exam her. And he's hired a nutritionist, Mrs. Newell, to monitor Delia's diet, exercise, and virtually every waking minute.
As the pregnancy progresses, Delia tries to rekindle her relationship with her cousin, Edward. She tries to reach out to her lost love, Ignacio. She meets up with her old friend, Fani, and she struggles with her unease around Mrs. Newell.
But with everything in Delia's life, even her pregnancy and the birth has its problems and more drama ensues. Delia tries to gain control over her situation and her baby, but it may take help from the family that has disowned her.
DELIA'S GIFT is a fitting end to the trilogy. There's the right amount of tension and the logical resolution by the final page. The story was a satisfying read for any fan of the V.C. Andrews legacy. ( )
