Grace
A stirring story of sexual politics and women’s tenuous relationship with power.
“A poignant, multidimensional novel examining the pains commonly imposed upon women…
“So often, those who experience sexual harassment or assault can feel as if they are voiceless. Although she is fictional, Catherine’s power and outspokenness in the face of the harassment is representative of the voice of women in the world.”
—Independent Book Review
“This moving saga is powered both by a father’s revelations and a daughter’s determination to escape sexual harassment in the workplace, and will be welcomed by women who may see in Catherine some of their own struggles and conflicts.”

“Grace is both a woman’s name and a mysterious force that activates our best selves. Nancy Allen’s tender, aptly-titled novel probes the limits of idealism in the face of bitterness and aggression, while exposing how choices made in adversity affect the next generation.”
