Finding Grace: A Novel

Something bad is about to happen to Melanie, a twelve-year-old girl who’s been in foster care her whole life. She doesn’t know what it is, but something tells her it’s going to happen soon. Grace has the same feeling about Melanie and so goes to find her estranged daughter, Louise, to help her save Melanie. Grace has been in and out of Louise’s life, and Louise does not want her to be a part of her life anymore. For some unknown reason, Louise decides to go with her mom across the country to attempt to save this girl. They are going to have to make peace with each other if they want to get to Melanie in time.

I loved how this story was told from the multiple viewpoints of the many characters. It showed excellently how we all interpret the same situation differently. I had a hard time putting the book down, and with such short chapters, it made it easy to think I could read at least one more. There are some broken people here, but also lots of redemption. I loved the supernatural element, which didn’t overpower the characters or plot. Very well done.
