In "Grace" author Greenwood gets hold of the teenage mind and she just doesn't let go. "Grace" is the poignant story of a young boy who literally develops overnight and he has no comprehension of the mysteries of his own body and mind. He perceives the world from the viewpoint of someone who is an outcast to his peers and his conclusions about his own worth then follow those faulty perceptions.
When reading the book, the reader will get the feeling that a highly insightful and perceptive spider has woven a web in which the reader is caught up heart and soul. The characters of Trevor and Grace (siblings) are unforgettable. They are real, tragic and endearing to the reader. They are children to be admired and cheered as they make their way through life. The parents of the children are so understandable that older readers will surely see themselves through the hearts and minds of adult parents struggling to come to terms with the growth of their own children. The character of the social outcast Crystal brings the reader to the very soul of tragedy, despair and redemption. Perhaps what struck me most about this book was the fact that the characters are so representative of the human condition in general. There is no glossing over of the reality of the individual dilemmas the characters must face. They are presented raw so that they can either be accepted for what they are or rejected as defective or deficient. This is a masterfully written piece of literature for both the young and the not-so-young.
