Review by
Marlene Engel
On the
outside, it would appear that Grace and Ted have the perfect life. Ted is a bestselling author and Grace is his
beautiful bride of twenty years. They
have a fabulous home, beautiful daughter, and seem to be the epitome of the
perfect power couple. But, what the
outside world doesn’t see is that Ted is the opposite of the persona he puts
out to the public. Behind closed doors
he turns into a person full of anger and rage.
It’s
when Ted’s trusted assistant Elaine quits her job, because of personal issues
and is replaced with Beth, that what originally seems like the best replacement
for the job, turns into Grace’s worst nightmare. And Grace is left fighting to keep not only
her marriage intact, but also her sanity.
Powerful,
emotional and intense, Saving Grace
will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions as a family who seems to be on the
top of the world quickly plummets to the bottom and fights to make their way
back to the top.

About the Author:
Jane
Green’s sixteenth novel, Saving Grace,
was just released in the UK and will be released in the US in late December.
She is the author of fifteen previous New York Times Bestselling novels,
including most recently Tempting
Fate which
came out in paperback in November.
A former feature writer for the Daily Express in the UK, Green took a
leap in faith when she left, in 1996, to freelance and work on a novel. Seven
months later, there was a bidding war for her first book, Straight Talking,
the saga of a single career girl looking for the right man. The novel was an
immediate top-ten bestseller in England, and Green was an overnight success.
Initially known for writing about single thirty-somethings with her
trademark wisdom, wit and warmth, but Green has graduated to more complex,
character-driven novels that explore the concerns and conflicts of real women’s
lives, from marriage (The Other Woman) to
motherhood (Another Piece of My Heart) to divorce, stepchildren,
affairs, and most recently, midlife crises (Family Pictures and Tempting Fate).
Together with writing books and blogs, she contributes to various
publications, both online and print, including Huffington Post, The Sunday
Times, Cosmopolitan and Self, has taught at writers conferences, and does
regular keynote speaking.
Most weekends see her cooking for a minimum of twenty people in her home
in Westport, Connecticut, where she lives with her husband and their blended
family. When she is not writing, cooking, gardening, filling her house with
friends and herding chickens, she is usually thanking the Lord for
caffeine-filled energy drinks.
