"Full of Grace," Dorothea Frank's new novel, is full of her trademark Southern charm, wit and sassy dialogue.
When her dysfunctional (but irresistible) parents move from New Jersey to Hilton Head, 30-something heroine, Maria Graziela Russo (call her "Grace") relocates to Charleston, immediately falling in love with its antebellum allure.
Italian tempers flare when Grace and Michael (a doctor specializing in stem cell research) move in together.
As she makes the regular pilgrimages to her family for holidays, she can't help but wonder when the people she loves most in the world will come to accept the man who has won her heart.
Grace has the job most everyone dreams of: planning amazing vacations and corporate retreats. But when Michael is diagnosed with an insidious and often inoperable form of brain cancer, her employer asks her to plan a pilgrimage for local Charleston churchgoers to the sites of some of the world's most celebrated and debated miracles.
When Grace and Michael experience a miracle of their own on Mexico City's most hallowed ground, the stage is set for a major change in faith.
Reading "Full of Grace" is like embarking upon a mile-a-minute heart-to-heart with the author about family, love, life and the search for the perfect state of grace.
