Gifted

What does it mean to be gifted?Is this to do with a present being wrapped up and handed to another? Does one person sacrifice something to help someone else? Or is to do with having a certain talent? Is that gift always welcome? Does the protagonist make the most of what has been gifted to them? All of those scenarios exist in these stories and there are other interpretations as well of the theme "gifted".Gifted is Bridge House's 2023 anthology which includes stories by both some of the gifted writers we already know well and by some new faces.
