This one is a must read! An amazingly relatable family drama, full of heart, humour and all the feels. Everything suddenly makes perfect sense and you understand completely. You understand why things are as they are when the novel opens: why this lovely little family has been torn apart; why Grace has reached such a pitch of anger that she abandons her car in a traffic jam and walks away; why she does what she subsequently does (avoiding spoilers here!

I couldn't put Amazing Grace Adams down, and when I did, I was still thinking about picking it back up. The pages flew, and the story moved me.

But a lot of what she says and feels will resonate with a lot of people. But instead of running away from it, she decides today is the day she's going to tackle her life and its problems head on; even if that means confronting a painful part of her past that she's tried for so long to acknowledge.
