A State of Grace

Traci Depree is one of my favorite authors. Somehow I had tucked this book away and forgotten all about it. I just found it this weekend and read it in one night. This was such a touching story which was actually two stories intertwined. One story was a light-hearted almost comical story about two brothers fighting over a dog and that alternated with a more serious story about a family that was going through some very hard times alone. A woman who had recently lost her husband and then found her college age daughter was suffering with leukemia had chosen to close herself off from everyone she knew, including her church family and God. Kate, wife of the new pastor of Faith Brier Church decided to try her best to break through the walls this woman had built up around her.
