Andrea Eskine Trosclair has lived in or around 

Baton Rouge, LA her entire life. She is a registered
 
nurse, which she immensely enjoyed before being 

diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005. The 

inspiration for this book is Andrea's two daughters- 

her "gifts" that she celebrates & gives thanks for. 

Using bows to symbolize what gifts our daughters 

are, this delightful  book debut showcases the deep
 
love between a mother and daughter.  Gracie's Gift 

is the first of several books in the works for this
 
new, heartwarming author. 

Gracie's Gift
Gracie awakens the morning of her birthday party excited and ready to celebrate! Her excitement quickly turns to frustration as she notices a bow sitting beside her beautiful party dress. Why must she always have these bows in her hair? Why does her mommy insist on them? As the story unfolds, Gracie's mother explains that you don't see presents wrapped without bows. Do you? Relating to her precious child as her own gift, she celebrates her blessing from God by placing a bow in the hair of her sweet child each day. As Gracie realizes that these special bows are not to annoy her, but to celebrate her mother's love and affection for her, she proudly wears them for all to see.
