Full of Grace by Dorothea Benton Frank
3.0
Quite different for Dorothea Benton Frank. While there is talk of the beach, food and family, there's more serious issues going on here.
Grace loves her family but has little to nothing in common with them. Her family is very religious, she is agnostic. Her family is very traditional, she lives with her boyfriend with no plans to marry.
Because her boyfriend is a scientist, an atheist, possibly commitment phobic and Irish, Grace's are ta don't like him. They dislike him having never met him.
But he is the love of Grace's life and he gets a frightening diagnosis that forces some major changes in Grace's life.
I enjoyed that the story revolves around an Italian family. I'm Italian too and I definitely recognized some of the people in the books and definitely their food.
I was definitely very frustrated with her parents treatment of Grace and Michael but everyone in the story grows a lot by the end.
I enjoyed the story and appreciate how the story makes you think about everything the characters are going through.
