Editorial Review:

Product Description:
She was my first kiss. My first love. She was a little match girl who could see the future in the flame of a candle. She was a runaway who taught me more about life than anyone has before or since. And when she was gone my innocence left with her.

As I begin to write, a part of me feels as if I am awakening something best left dead and buried, or at least buried. We can bury the past, but it never really dies. The experience of that winter has grown on my soul like ivy climbing the outside of a home, growing until it begins to tear and tug at the brick and mortar.

I pray I can still get the story right. My memory, like my eyesight, has waned with age. Still, there are things that become clearer to me as I grow older. This much I know: too many things were kept secret in those days. Things that never should have been hidden. And things that should have.

- A subject that really needs to be dealt with....
I am so very much connected to GRACE, from The Little Match Girl ( my favorite Anderson story) to GRACES Birthday,(mine also is October 17th) to he sexual abuse as a child. Although I had a very different outcome in life, I am so thankful that Richard Paul Evans has written this book, and touched on this subject, for TOO long (especially during the Graces era and before) the subject has been tabu, if you don't talk about it or acknowledge its existence, no one had to deal with the subject. Hopefully this book will open up the eyes of people and learn to listen to children, and to look for the signs that they are trying in their own way to speak out about what has happened to them. Truly a WONDERFUL book.

Rating:

- Grace is amazing
The book is stunning in its portrayal of people, and how situations motivate a repsonse full of kindness and grace, or a response of following the rules with no questions asked. In this age of awareness of child abuse, Grace takes you back to a time that appeared full of innocence, when the reality was much bleaker and darker. The light of the main characters gives hope to us today. We all can respond to the call for grace.

- If Six Stars Could be Give, This Book Would Get 6!!
This is a novel that stays in your mind and heart forever. You experience this story, you do not merely read it. I was gripped with all sorts of emotions until I finished the last page. Thanks to seeing Richard Paul Evans on Glenn Beck's show one evening, I thought could any book live up to Beck's feelings about this novel? Yes, and it even surpassed his praise. Thank God for an author of Evans talent and character!

Rating:

- Stirring
I really related to this story and the characters. It is so well written, nothing offensive, real language, from real people who have character. I was motived to finish the book, and felt very sad to have completed it.

This book is a quick read, uplifting.

I have sent it to several of my family and friends.

- Courtesy of Teens Read Too
If one were to look up the definition of "grace," this is what one would find: a virtue coming from God or disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency among others. But either of these definitions could apply to the beautiful story written by Mr. Evans.

GRACE is another amazing story written by the author of THE CHRISTMAS BOX. For those who have never read anything by Mr. Evans, GRACE will not disappoint, and will most likely lead you to read the rest of his works.
For those that are already fans (such as myself), this is another wonderful novel. Many of Mr. Evans' stories celebrate the Christmas season. Though not completely revolving around the holiday, GRACE reaches into the heart and touches all that is special with the Christmas spirit. ... Read More
