Having Grattitude for Grace

I cannot remember the last time I read a book that has touched my heart like Grace. Grace is the story of a young 15 year-old girl from the 1950's Salt Lake City, Utah who has run away from home. Her motives are at first unknown to the reader, however in time, the shocking truth is revealed. Eric is just a 14 year-old boy with "acne and a bad haircut." He kind of reminds me of me at one time lol, but who doesn't remember those days. They pass, like all else will do. Good or bad, everything will pass eventually. He finds this young girl in a dumpster behind the fast food establishment he works at. It is clear that she is desperately trying to find food, but he is too nice to point that out. He gives her food, and upon learning her predicament, he offers her a place to stay. Her name is Grace. Hidden in a clubhouse in the back of his five acre yard, Grace finds solace in her new freedom and her unexpected new friend. He brings her food from his own meals and quickly the two become amazing friends. Eric is one of the nicest boys you will ever meet. He is so kind to Grace that she is often overwhelmed that the world could have a person who could be so selfless and so caring. Their bond is heartwarming, and it is truly a pleasure to see them both grow and mature in ways that both of them needed. They are truly the answers to each others prayers. Then, we see that even the people we most trust can be the worst of sinners. The ending will leave you wondering if the world is fair, and then you will realize that the fact that the world gave you the opportunities to love, and to hold, and to kiss, and to lose, make it all the more fair if it must take it away. Even Grace knew the what the outcome would be, but she also knew that she couldn't stop it. The message is to show the darker side of the world, and to show the dangers of humankind. The side that Grace knew and had seen firsthand. But focus on the relationship between Grace and Eric. That message is to just love unconditionally. You never know how much it can mean to someone. Show your passion and your kindness. Be the Hawaii for the people you love, and have a little Grace in everything you do. I won't tell anymore. Read it for yourselves.
