Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love “The Amazing Grace Adams” by Fran Littlewood … Here is what the QBD crew thought:
Written by debut author Fran Littlewood, “The Amazing Grace Adams” is a raw, funny, and wonderfully compelling read that will make you laugh… and cry.
This story follows Grace Adams during a hot summer day. She is driving to pick up a cake for her daughter’s sixteenth birthday party… and she snaps. She doesn’t scream or cry – she simply abandons her car in traffic and walks away. But not from her life – towards it. Towards the daughter who has banned her from the party, towards the husband divorcing her, and towards the terrible thing that has blown their family apart. She’s about to show her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up. Because Grace Adams was amazing. The world and her family might have forgotten. But she is about to remind them…
Surrounding resilience and the struggles women face every day, there is no denying that this exceptionally strong debut will resonate deeply with many. Fran Littlewood has expertly created a main character that you WANT to root for – Grace Adams has imperfections, but she proves herself to be witty, tough, and a true warrior. This story is guaranteed to stay with you for a long time – we cannot wait to see what Littlewood creates next.
