She was my first kiss. My first love. She was a little match girl who could see the future in the flame of a candle. She was a runaway who taught me more about life than anyone has before or since. And when she was gone my innocence left with her.

As I begin to write, a part of me feels as if I am awakening something best left dead and buried, or at least buried. We can bur...more

If one were to look up the definition of "grace," this is what one would find: a virtue coming from God or disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency among others. But either of these definitions could apply to the beautiful story written by Mr. Evans.

GRACE is another amazing story written by the author of THE CHRISTMAS BOX. For those who have never read anything by Mr. Evans, GRACE will not disappoint, and will most likely lead you to read the rest of his works.
For those that are already fans (such as myself), this is another wonderful novel. Many of Mr. Evans' stories celebrate the Christmas season. Though not completely revolving around the holiday, GRACE reaches into the heart and touches all that is special with the Christmas spirit.

Eric's life is far from wonderful. After his father hurt his back, the family packed up everything they owned and moved from California to Utah. Money has dried up in the summer of 1962 and, to survive, his family moves into the house left vacant by the death of his maternal grandmother. The house is falling apart, but they are together and have family nearby to help them.

To help with finances, Eric works at McBurger Queen after school. It's there, while cleaning up after closing, that he discovers a girl "dumpster diving" (sorting through the Dumpster for food). He recognizes the girl from one of his classes, but doesn't want to embarrass her. Instead, he invites her inside and offers her the food that would otherwise be discarded.

While she is eating, he learns her name is Grace. She admits she is running away. Eric can't fathom what a girl his age will do to survive. Without thinking of the consequences, he offers up the only place he can think of, the clubhouse in the far corner of his backyard that he built with his younger brother, Joel.

He sets Grace up in the clubhouse with a heating pad for warmth, a flashlight, a transistor radio, and a supply of sleeping bags. As time goes by, the two become friends. He sneaks her food when he can. She sneaks out when it seems safe, and passes her time in the clubhouse with a collection of books from the library.

But her family starts a frantic search for Grace. Announcements are made at school. Flyers are put up around town. And eventually it makes the evening news. Eric is terrified he will be found out and that they will find Grace. He vows to keep her secret. His resolve grows more so when she reveals the reason for running away.

Eric is only fourteen, and the pressure from all sides start to mount. He knows Grace can never be turned over to her family, but what can a teenager do to help her in the end?

Eric berates himself as a grown man that he couldn't help Grace more. He continues to search for the grace he doesn't feel he deserves. Reminiscent of the ending of Saving Private Ryan, the main character searches for the goodness that he hopes he has lived up to in the eyes of those that have gone before him.

Mr. Evans has a way of bringing forth buried feelings. GRACE touches you deep in the spirit and makes you want to be a better person. With the upcoming Christmas season, may we all show a bit of grace to those around us.

This is my very first audiobook and I liked it. No eye strain. Gave me a break from listening to Goodtimes 89.9's sometimes-arrogant-sometimes-funny Mo Twister every morning of my life. Made me less sentimental by not listening to old songs played in 774 A.M. station on my way back home every afternoon or early evening. The only downside was that if there was an agressive driver swerving into my lane, I got distracted and I lost what had been said in the audioCD. But that happens even while reading a book. We all get distractions once in a while and it was good that this was an easy ~~read~~ err hear so missing few sentences did not make a big difference.

Oh, the joy and pain of first love. Young sweet true love. Utah, USA. Early 1960's. Grace, 16, sexually molested by her stepfather. He runs away from home and is found by her classmate, Eric, 14 eating food from the dumpster. He brings her home and without the knowledge of his parents, lets her stay in their clubhouse. Their house is in the middle of a 5-acre farm and he and his brother, Joel, 12, put up this clubhouse by themselves. Their father is a cripple and the mother is busy working for the 4 of them so they have no time to wander around the property including visiting the clubhouse.

Grace finds later that she is made pregnant by her stepfather. While her parents (mother and stepfather) are looking for her and Eric, now her first boyfriend, denying tooth and nail that he knows her whereabout, she calls up her aunt in Wyoming and so Grace is scheduled to travel to join her aunt. She tells Eric that she wants to leave after Christmas as she wants to celebrate Dec 25 with him first.

The day before she is scheduled to leave, the policemen come to the house and interrogate Eric. He has no choice but to squeal. But before doing that he looks at his father and knew that in his heart with the desire of protecting Grace, his first love, that he changed into a man. He hates his parents, Grace's parents, his brother who he thought was the one who told his parents about their secret (Grace in their clubhouse).

If I were a teenager, again, I would have rated this a perfect 5-star. Eric had full of this teenager angst when he lost Grace. I thought it could have been easier for him if he trusted his parents and told them right away. Eric started his narration (Disc#1, Chapter 1) telling Christian Hans Andersen's Little Match Girl as a grandpa to his grandchildren. It reminds me of that old lady recounting the Titanic tale: Jack and that big diamond that she later threw to the sea. Grandfather Eric recalled Grace's life was similar to that of the little match girl.

However, if I close my eyes and imagine that I am still a teenager, I think I can relate to Eric. When do I think I became a man? Oh I guess when I was 19 and I first defied my parents. Oh yes, it was also about standing up for my first girlfriend although she was not a runaway but just some sort of a rebel to her parents. At that time, like Eric, I thought that everything around me revolved around my first love and nothing else mattered.

Now that I am 46 and a father, I know better. All parents would say that. But at that time, it was all about how I felt. Me and her. Me and him. Just the two of us. All teenagers would say this. We all go through that at some point of our lives - the joy and pain of our first love. And as Eric relates the story of the Little Match Girl while holding the locket giving by Grace, we also know one thing: first love never dies.

Not a feel good Christmas tale AT ALL. It is actually one of the more depressing books I've read this year. Usually by the end of Richard Paul Evans' books, I feel a peace wash over me, I felt very sad after reading this. With that said, it is very good, well written and engaging, like the rest of his books.

This is one of those books that just pains you to have to put it down. It was a very emotional, intense and sad tale. The characters are charming. Important issues are addressed in a delicate manner. I felt the ending was a bit rushed but it definitely pulled at the heartstrings - of course, making me shed a tear or two.

Grace is an amazing inspirational story about 16 year old Madeline "Grace" Webb, a runaway with big problems and her relationship with 14 year old Eric.

In 1962, people minded their own business. What happened behind closed doors was considered priveledged. Children were their parent's possessions and no one could say anything about the treatment of those children. For Grace, life was more complicated than most 16 year old girls have to deal with.

Pull out the tissues for this one! This book really made me think more about the issue of children's rights. It's a very sweet and sad story with a strong message. I knew how it end and yet I still couldn't put it down - I read it in one day. It does deal with child abuse issues, so some people may not have a difficult time with it. However, I have to say that these issues were dealt with very tactfully and without going into any detail.

Of course this book was predictable, but what does it matter when it still gives a woman a good reason to cry. The novel was easy to read, the characters changed and grew as the story progressed, and I shed several tears in the closing pages, so I would recommend it to others who like a touching story around the holidays.

I am not an emotional person but I will admit to shedding a few tears over this one. A very touching story. I have a hard time reading novels where I know who the bad guy is and what they are doing is so terrible...it's much easier for me to read a mystery. Thankfully, this one wasn't very long so I could finish it, unlike the other book I'm currently reading Edgar Sawtelle...

It brings powerfully to the printed page the terrible scourge of child sexual abuse and its aftermath.

This is the heartbreaking story of Grace, the abused teenage runaway, and Eric, the boy who helps her, and comes to love her. The story is set in the early sixties, a time when such social diseases were kept hidden, unacknowledged, or swept under the rug. All too often the victim was cast in the light of villain, excoriated by friends and family at worst, and at best kept hidden, as if to do otherwise would be shameful. Though thankfully that former societal imperative is no longer generally prevailing, it is all too easy to be transported back fifty years and see how it must have been for those who were among the victimized.

Evans has dipped deeply into the resources, financial and otherwise, that his literary success has brought him, to establish the Christmas Box initiative. The goal of his efforts is best stated by Richard Paul Evans himself:

"Each year over 24,000 youths age out of the foster care system in America. These are teens that were never adopted or able to return to the homes they were removed from due to abuse, neglect and abandonment. Many of these youth leave foster care as young as 18 years old. They are faced with almost insurmountable challenges as they try to navigate the difficulties of adulthood, including incarceration, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, mental illness, poverty, homelessness and suicide. With no one to help them, many of them return to abusive situations or end up homeless on the streets. The Christmas Box International has come up with a 4-phase plan to involve the community in helping these youths."

Evans' stated goal is to bring about a transformation in the lives of these children, and he is certainly making a dent. His novel, Grace, shows why he finds that vision so compelling, and worthy of his efforts. Perhaps we can help as well.(less)
