Mother of two. I am an avid reader, sometimes writer, everyday technology master. I am an index of movie and television actors. I win every game of six degrees of Kevin Bacon. It's funny cause I love Bacon (not Kevin just bacon).
The story is told mostly from the perspective of a ten year old boy who along with his four year old sister is dealing with the disintegration of his parents’ marriage. Their break-up and his mothers odd behavior turns violent and the children are there baring witness to the whole mess. Mr. Grace has a way of forcing the reader to face the truth of how violence and abuse although not directed at our children still have an affect on them. Several times I found myself getting very angry with the characters and to me that is a sign of excellent writing. His characters are real and his story is a wonderful tale of forgiveness and survival.
Muriel - I steal it! I usually read right before going to bed. And I have been known to stand at the oven cooking dinner with a book in my hand. I carry a book with me everywhere so any moment I get I read.

...excellent review, Jennifer. At some point I fully expect you to receive an offer from a legit publication for your very own review column.
And I wanted to thank you for purchasing my recent release, hot off the press:) Truly humbled at your gesture.
I'm in the process of sending out email requests for an upcoming tour, with your name at the top of my list, as I've promised.
I'll be in touch.
