A riveting coming of age tale! By Midwest Book Review When life collapses all around you, someone always has to look to the one thing that will keep them sane. Waves of Grace is the story of Marguerite and her disintegrating life at home. All she has to keep her spirits up are her friends, and her pastime of surfing. A championship is coming, and Marguerite direly wants to compete - but life seems to object to her getting to do so. Waves of Grace is a riveting coming of age tale, highly recommended to teen readers who like a good book as much as they like catching a wave.
