Book of Grace

Poet Grace McAllister’s life feels like a case study in loneliness. Living in rural Vermont with her dog, her days are spent writing and restoring her historic farmhouse. Then she meets the enchanting and talented Grace Grey. The intensity of their connection—immediate and strangely familiar—couldn’t come at a worse time for the married Grace Grey. They make the painful decision to let go of what had just begun, only for a chance meeting years later to reignite the spark neither of them had ever been able to fully put out. The relationship unfolds into a decades-long romance that draws every corner of their lives into an exceptional portrait of self-sovereignty, deep belonging, and sacred transformation of family. Partially narrated by Grace McAllister from the afterlife, Book of Grace beautifully lays bare the immortal ecstasy of adoration and grief, and asks: What happens when love is offered freedom? Kate Mapother’s answer—delivered in tender, aching prose—is a blazing testament to the infinite possibilities of grace.
