'Ella's Gift follows the story of Ella, a young girl with an unusual and powerful gift: psychometry or the ability to "see" events or memories from the past simply by holding an object associated with those events. As Ella is drawn into the mystery of a Samoan youth's death, the novel also explores issues of multiculturalism and the Samoan culture. Source: www.johnwiley.com.au (Sighted 03/02/2010).
