I received a copy of The Gift of Friendship: Stories that Celebrate the Beauty of Shared Moments edited by Dawn Camp, from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

The Gift of Friendship is a collection of essay type short stories written by numerous different authors. Each author shares their own experiences throughout their lives with friends and friendships. Some will make the reader laugh, cry and smile. Many of the situations wrote about are very relatible and heartwarming.

I found that many of these stories were geared towards busy mothers in need of a caring friend. Although I don’t fall into that specific set I was able to relate to many of the things mentioned throughout The Gift of Friendship. In fact I had quite a profound reading experience as I made my way through the pages. Although it is fairly short and quick to read, I really took time to reflect on each lesson. It also made me reminisce about friendships past and present.

Along with its inviting cover showing two chairs by a lake, the book as a whole was put together beautifully. Editor and author Dawn Camp is also a photographer and included some of her own pictures to accompany the stories.

The Gift of Friendship really would make for a nice gift. I would recommend it to those who enjoy reading heartwarming relatable stories.
