Jason Stevens is about to find out in Jim Stovall's The Ultimate Gift. Red Stevens has died, and the older members of his family receive their millions with greedy anticipation. But a different fate awaits young Jason, whom Stevens, his great-uncle, believes may be the last vestige of hope in the family. "Although to date your life seems to be a sorry excuse for anything I would call promising, there does seem to be a spark of something in you that I hope we can fan into a flame. For that reason, I am not making you an instant millionaire." What Stevens does give Jason leads to The Ultimate Gift. Young and old will take this timeless tale to heart.</p> 1424734 2000 The Ultimate Gift total:1031|5:327|4:285|3:266|2:115|1:38| 1031 3841 1396 388 1 2 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 31 09:39:54 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 09:42:25 -0700 2009 2 1 false false Sat Jun 23 15:03:54 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 07:30:28 -0700 2007
