The State of Gracie

About the Book

After Gracie’s first marriage ends in divorce, she is wary to love again. Juggling work, school and raising her son has kept her too busy to think about re-entering the dating world. Then a chance encounter opens the door to new possibilities—and a new love. Is Gracie ready to open her heart to love again? Gracie is a pretty single working mother who got pregnant at seventeen and was divorced by the time she was twenty-two. After that bitter experience, she contents herself by working and caring for her ten-year-old son. Then she meets Lamont Williamson, an acquaintance of her best friend, Anita. A kind and decent man, Lamont seems to have everything she could ever want in a husband. Could he be the soul mate she is waiting for? Lamont, however, has a dark secret in his past that could threaten their future. What will Gracie do once she uncovers this shocking revelation? Will she forgive Lamont and move on? Or have they lost their chance at happiness?
