I'm not always sure. Sometimes a story just comes to me in waves (or trickles) of inspiration and oftentimes it's not until the very end of the book that I see where my characters are taking me. This is such a tale. Grace is the story of a young runaway girl and the boy who hides her from a frightening world too large and unfathomable for him to comprehend. It is also about two brothers and the love that binds them together through difficult times. In some ways this is the most autobiographical of all my novels. When I was eight years old my father lost his job, and we sold our home in beautiful and aptly named Arcadia, California, to move to a poor neighborhood in Utah and into a rundown home like the one I describe in the story. I have no fond memories of that time. Not one. I wanted to go home. I've found my home now, and it has nothing to do with the place where I live, and everything to do with the family I love. Sincerely, Richard Paul Evans Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Heart-feltThis book made me cry.. It is amazing how one person can make such a difference in someone else's life. This is a wonderful book. Rating:  - DARK & DEPRESSINGI was very disappointed in this dark and depressing story. Richard Paul Evans should stick to the genre we know and love. sometimes going outside the book is not a good thing. I knew within the first couple of chapters where this was going and it continued to get worse. Anyone who has been abused as a child should not read this book - it would be very upsetting. In fact, anyone who has not been abused would be upset by this story. Rating:  - 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 ... Read More Rating: - Grace is amazingThe 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. Rating: - 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!
