Rendition To Books Finding Grace
RACHEL HAS JUST graduated from high school and thinks she knows everything. Well, maybe not quite everything. Then she meets the mysterious Mr. Preston, who offers her a live-in job looking after Grace—a brain injured woman with a lovely house, grasping sisters, feral neighbors, and a box full of unfinished business. As Rachel tries to cope with the demands of her employment and the start of college, she’s also determined to fit together the pieces that were Grace’s former life. The more she finds out about the woman in her care, the more Rachel finds herself.Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards’ Shortlist for YA

I liked the story. Would like to know more about what happens to Grace and her care giver Rachael. I liked the "Spooky Box" . everyone has one.An solid and thoughtful Australian YA.
This book contains one of my favorite quotes. I read it awhile back; but it still sticks with me. "What are you going to do?" Everyone asks me. "What are you going to do?" Sometimes I just want to scream "I DON'T KNOW, MAN! I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH WHAT I'M DOING NOW!" Any book that succeeds in crafting a relatable main character (especially at a time in your life when you feel like you really don't know what to do with your life) is a win, for me!Plus, this book is Australian; and I love
4.5 starsI quite liked this novel. I picked it up from my library purely because I saw the book's spine and was intrigued. I'd never heard of it before, nor did I have any blurb on the book to read. I just read the first sentence, "Grace had a brain injury." I was interested.I really liked the main character, Rachel. She was just so quirky, like she calls herself. I could identify with her during a few chapters, and couldn't help but smile when she would talk about her problems with blushing. It
Finding Grace is probably one of the best books Ive read this year.It reminds us all about how brain-damaged people (throughout their life, not born) once had a life before.

Even if she was brain-dead and wasnt aware of her surroundings from time-to-time, I loved her. And the person she used to be before the accident. The thing that made this book stand
This book was very interesting it draws you in and doesn't let you go I highly recommend it
2001 called, it wants it's Melanie C reference back! No, seriously - this was lovely. As the title implies, Finding Grace is a story about discovery. Its a touching and funny glimpse into one young womans realisation that perhaps she doesnt know as much about life as she thought she did. Eighteen-year-old, slightly socially awkward Rachel has just finished high school when she accepts a job offer to become a live-in carer for Grace, a woman with a severe brain injury. Gradually, as Rachel begins
