About this ebook

Grace is a literary novel that deals realistically with the way adults who experienced domestic violence as children or drastic and violent loss can be affected by it years later. The novel also explores the legacy of political violence against minority populations in South Africa, in particular the experiences of South African youth who engaged in political protests in the 80s and were subsequently imprisoned, exiled, and disappeared in the government's brutal attempts at suppression. This is a great book-club read and we will support that by advertising it in the Reading Group Choices guide. A great book for readers who have loved books by Alice Walker--which explore the same themes of intergenerational and political violence, specifically in the lives of women.

Barbara Boswell

Barbara has been a longtime romance novel fan, becoming hooked on the Harlequin Presents series back in the mid-'70s when she was home with her three small daughters. When the youngest reached school age in 1983, she wanted something to do with her extra time. She thought about going back to nursing, but didn't care to deal with hospital shifts. She'd often made up stories in her head and/or continued the stories that she'd read, so it seemed like a fun idea to try to write a story of her own. It took a lot more effort and organization than the loosely strung-together scenes she'd run through her mind, but she was right about the fun part! She enjoyed the whole process and wrote a story that she knew she would enjoy reading. She sent it off and was thrilled when it was accepted! It was even more exciting to see her name on the book cover. Some 50-plus books later, it's still a thrill to see her name on the book and it's still fun to make up stories - at least most of the time! Barbara gets her ideas from everywhere but especially from reading, which she loves to do. Sometimes, just a sentence in a newspaper or a magazine will spark an idea to develop into a romance. Other times, she'll be inspired by another romance novel and she will try to put her own spin on a favorite old plot. Barbara believes that we all have our preferences - she's always been partial to the "secret baby" story line. That, plus the "marriage of convenience" and class or family conflicts are some of her particular favorites. Her three daughters are all grown up now, and she and her husband are the proud grandparents of a beautiful little grandson. They also have three cats who seem to think that they are the rulers of their house. They are terribly spoiled, and they just might be right.
