During a warm August morning on a Wisconsin golf course, Tim delights in playing his favorite course alone. But confusion and terror throw him into turmoil. Back at his hotel, his wife, Serena, and his 10-year old son, Liam, are waiting for him, unware that he is in trouble. Their dog, Sammie, rests comfortably beside Liam.
A couple weeks later, Tom's cell phone rings, but the number isn't familiar. He answers, preparing to hang up if it's a nuisance call.. This is Tim, said the voice. He hadn't talked with Tim in months. They worked in the same building but weren't friends. They just shared a common love for sports. That call changed Tom's life. Unexpected Gifts is a feel-good book of nonfiction, a story of Tim and Tom. A story of Tom's visits with Tim in Chicago and Tim's final year of life. This is the story of a friendship that grew beyond belief. It is a story about families and travel, about joys and sorrows, about faith and the future. And some time during that year, they learned about the value of giving -- sharing a surprise.Also from
