| | ReadingGroupGuides.com - Grace by Jane Roberts Wood |
 | | Grace Gillian, abandoned by her husband, thinks of herself in mundane termsbut she is an extraordinarily passionate and impulsive woman whose "wild Irish streak" will soon either land her trouble, bring her happiness, or both. |
 | | As Grace, the heart of the novel, works toward closure with her past, her story intertwines with those of her neighbors, the Moores, Applebys, Balderidges, and othersall waiting to learn what the future holds. |
 | | At the outset of Grace, two of the major characters, Grace Gillian and Bobby Moore, both have clear ideas of what should happen for themselves (of lasting love with John Appleby and of joining the navy, respectively) that have passed by the wayside as the novel ends. |
