Sixteen-year-old Grace McGonnell has been raised in an atmosphere of fear, submission and isolation. Hidden within a reclusive, fundamentalist cult, she possesses little knowledge of the outside world. What options does she have when her mother pressures her to marry a fellow cult member over twice her age? A man who, with her mother’s consent, has stolen her innocence? Desperate, Grace runs away to Los Angeles with her new friend, Lydia. Without even the most basic skills needed to survive on their own, they find themselves trapped in a deadly world of prostitution and drug abuse. Years later, Grace, now a successful attorney in Atlanta, is shocked to learn that her sixteen-year-old niece, still living within the cult, also is being forced to marry a much older man. Grace is determined to save her niece at any cost. Even if it means confronting a past she would do anything to forget. Even if it means revealing, for the first time, the pain of that hidden past to her husband and children.

Also by Brent Nelson: "The Terrible, Wonderful Why," a sequel to "Grace of a Different God," based on the author’s real-life story of his son’s battle with cancer, and the life lessons learned as a result; and "The Warrior Way," a dystopian thriller about a Marine turned cop who fights to unravel two mysterious deaths at an orphanage in a newly-segregated world.

Writing this review feels like something I really need to do. I am so moved by this story and the lessons it reminds us of that I'm truly shaken. How perfectly the author points out one of the greatest teachings we should be mindful of everyday. This is an amazingly well told story and lesson.
First I want to say that I really enjoyed the book. It's well written and the characters very easy to get to know and identify with. I lived this book with the narrator.
Secondly, this is a profound story that each one of us needs to read and remember. I believe the "moral of the story" could help our country let alone our own lives.
Third, there are ways that many of us have experienced some of what this story is about. I believe that my parents loved me but also raised me in a time when we were taught things like, "children should be seen and not heard" & " spare the rod, spoil
the child". In my home that meant I grew up with a lot of the guilt, absolute obedience or else and fear that is not healthy. I've dealt with some of the emotional results talked about at the end of the book and reading this really opened my eyes and gave me some understanding I wish I'd had a long time ago.
I highly recommend this book to all. It is well written, entertaining and something we all need to be aware of and think about. This is a book I will re-read and I hope never forget. Thank you to the author for sharing this narrative-factual or not, it's a very true story. :)

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! :)

This very informative book, a novel drawn from fictionalized experiences in the author's own life (explained in the book's epilogue), can be of great help to those concerned about child abuse in cult societies. However, the tacit book's approval of the over-use of alcohol as a "comforter" in the heroine's later life when she has supposedly undergone a great deal of recovery could be a negative influence for young and sensitive readers, among others. There is also an incident where the heroine takes a sleeping pill after having consumed a great deal of alcohol, with no warning that this combination could provoke a life-threatening reaction. I recommend the book, with caution.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 agosto 2012

This book goes right to the heart - of the subject and about personal spiritual awareness, growth, friendship and relationships, love, compassion and understanding. It is one of the best books I have read in a long time. How many of us take the time to try to understand another person or be a true friend? If we would take the time, we could possibly gain wisdom, knowledge and most of all understanding. As the saying goes, "things are not always what they seem to be" and the same is true for people. We judge too quickly, whether it is someone successful who comes off as a snob, the waitress at a restaurant or clerk in a store, or the street person pushing his shopping cart down the road. We may miss the opportunity to get to know a very special person or gain a friendship of a lifetime. The story is well written and will definitely touch your heart.
Although this story is fiction, it is, as the author herself notes at the end, based upon her own life experiences.
It was a 1 day free book offered on Amazon. Thank you so much.

This is not a light read. Every sentence and paragraph is filled with the pain and fear the main character suffers. But it isn't all darkness; there are hints of hope among the darkness. But even the hope is tempered with fear. The book kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering if events would turn out OK, of it everything would fall apart. Until the very end, there were questions.

Some people may be concerned about the Christian overtones of this book. Don't be. I normally don't like Christian-themed books because they are often heavy-handed; this one is not. The protagonist minister (the one who helped Grace rebuild her life) represents the good side of Christianity (as opposed to the cult leader where Grace grew up) - love and support. At the same time, the author goes to great length to differentiate between mainstream Christianity and the fundamentalist cults like the one where Grace grew up.

The author of this book has written a fictional story about a woman who grew up in a cult.
The main character, Grace, flees home with a friend before she is forced to marry an odious man twice her age. Twenty years later her sister, Rachel, calls her and tells her that her daughter is facing the same fate. Grace rescues her niece.
The story goes back and forth in time-from the time of Grace's departure to the present.
Because the author herself had suffered at the hands of cult leaders and their practices, she was able to write a truly compelling story.
