Tides of Grace
historical fiction
Grace Ellen Lampley, smartest senior in the class of 1908 at Central High in St. Louis, fears the future because she has been so deeply hurt in the past. Strong and beautiful, she is intensely romantic but wary of love, and she must struggle to break the grip of emotionally stifling childhood trauma. Part One of Tides of Grace, “Summer 1907,” sees Grace’s fortunes rising despite her many fears. She arranges a love affair for her best friend, wins a blue ribbon for her home garden at the St. Louis Fair and she learns she may be able to go to college. In Part Two, “Juliet,” Grace is cast in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, but, that part of herself she cannot control lures her into disasters that could ruin her life.
