Preparing for her husband's retirement from his parish, Michele Guinness, author of The Guinness Legend, decided to clear out the attic and in doing so rediscovered a trunk of letters, diaries, journals and notebooks, over one hundred years old, belonging to Grace Guinness, Peter's grandmother.Most famous for her unconventional marriage to renowned speaker and evangelist Henry Grattan Guinness, Grace's journals reveal an extraordinary woman who in many ways was before her time: a rebel against the constraints of her narrow religious upbringing, unconventional in her choice of husband, defiant of a society that frowned on a well-bred single mother going out to work, a businesswoman who ran her own hotel, and an early feminist who believed in birth control.She worked until she was in her seventies, read The Times every day, got through at least one book a week and could comment eruditely on politics, science, philosophy, theology, music and literature... This was a woman who wrote in a frank and sometimes risqué way about her life, love, hopes and fears, and encouraged others to break some of the taboos of their generation.In Grace, Michele Guinness weaves together the revealing contents of Grace's own words with her own to create a unique and inspiring interpretation of this remarkable woman's life and times.

When Marcia finds coping with day-to-day life hard, she slips into another reality - one where Bono confides in her and Morrissey gives her advice. Her one saving grace is her deep belief that she will get better... and her unabiding love of life. Marcia also finds that prayer, meditation and her faith in Angels pulls her through when the times are tough.Grace really breaks down barriers and educates the reader as to what mental illness is and what those that suffer with it are going through. It does not sugar coat but tells the story from the point of view of a young, modern lady and her family; describing how they all cope with Marcia's diagnosis. Marcia eventually changed from patient to healer - her qualification in Reflexology is her pride and joy -she is now living a completely normal life, far away from hospitals and wards. She also composes music to great acclaim, records CDs and plays packed clubs. Marcia is now treated as an equal by all those who meet her - she shows that despite any diagnosis, one can live a full, rich and integrated life - all it takes is faith, hope and friendship... oh, and a cat called Indy.
* Winner of The San Diego Book Award ** An Indie Next Pick *From the award-winning author hailed by the New York Times Book Review for her "careful poetic description" and complex, compelling family dramas, Grace by T. Greenwood is a powerful novel about a family poised to implode, the transformative power of art, and the salvation gleaned from even the smallest mercies... Every family photograph hides a story. Some are suffused with warmth and joy, others reflect the dull ache of disappointed dreams. For thirteen-year-old Trevor Kennedy, taking photos helps make sense of his fractured world. His father, Kurt, struggles to keep a business going while also caring for Trevor's aging grandfather, whose hoarding has reached dangerous levels. Trevor's mother, Elsbeth, all but ignores her son while doting on his five-year-old sister, Gracy, and pilfering useless drugstore items. Trevor knows he can count on little Gracy's unconditional love and his art teacher's encouragement. None of that compensates for the bullying he has endured at school for as long as he can remember. But where Trevor once silently tolerated the jabs and name-calling, now anger surges through him in ways he's powerless to control. Only Crystal, a store clerk dealing with her own loss, sees the deep fissures in the Kennedy family--in the haunting photographs Trevor brings to be developed, and in the palpable distance between Elsbeth and her son. And as their lives become more intertwined, each will be pushed to the breaking point, with shattering, unforeseeable consequences.
