"Readers who seek strong female protagonists who remain true to themselves throughout a story will fall in love with Grace Herbert. The ending of the first chapter grabs the reader with urgency and features one of the most powerful scenes I've read in a long time." -Janis Daly, author of The Unlocked Path, #1 New Release for US Historical Fiction
A powerful story about love, courage, sacrifice, resilience, and hope, True Grace, set in 1924 during the Harlem Renaissance and Roaring Twenties, chronicles the journey of an immigrant, mixed-raced woman from The Congo, England, and Jamaica, fighting for her family's survival.
Inspired by real people and events, Grace must navigate the misogyny and racism of the courts, banks, child welfare system, and bad actors to hold her family together. Calling on her grit, determination, and grace, she must overcome harrowing circumstances. Readers will find themselves hooked from the first riveting chapter and cheering for Grace each step of the way.
