2018 DEBUT NOVEL

ABOUT THE GRACE GIRLS

When you have your whole life figured out at age seventeen, what can go wrong?

Yes, Gennie Carroll has mapped out her life after graduating from high school with honors a year early. But, that was before her heart is broken into pieces by the memory of her mom’s death…before her father’s estrangement…before her boyfriend’s betrayal…and, before a malicious scandal engulfs her world in the
small Iowa town of Oak Grove.

She has a place to run, thanks to a mysterious benefactor who sets her on an uncharted path to a future far different than she can foresee, which involves
a new beginning in the capitol city…a place where Gennie will be put to the test
by those who can teach her new skills, those she will need to serve, and maybe
a potential love interest or two. But, she still feels her small town tugging at her, shaded once again by memories of those dearest and closest to her heart,
and the familiar responsibilities that pull her back to her hometown. Where does her heart and future truly belong?
