Full of Grace by Dorothea Benton Frank
3.0
Another book by Dorothea Benton Frank, and another enjoyable read. This one seemed different from her others to me, but it could have been the subject. It was just a tad slow in spots, but in the end, I really did like it.
This book follows Grace Russo, the only daughter in a big New Jersey Italian family, who moves to Charleston when her parents decide to relocate to Hilton Head. She's - gasp - in her 30's, unmarried, living with an man who is not Italian, and pursuing her career as a travel agent. Her parents won't accept her boyfriend and she's stuck between trying to please them and trying to make herself happy. It takes a twist at the end, that I won't give away, but that really made the book for me. It has a bit to do with faith, although this certainly isn't Christian fiction by any means. Still, a good book to curl up with.
