Superb!
Upon my first reading, I connected spiritually with Gracey. What she went through, I've been through four times. It does not get easier. It is not until someone dies do you see the depth of their being. Reading my father's journal, going through his papers, allowed me to see him for someone other than just my daddy. Gracey goes through this while reading her family history in her great-great-grandmother's Bible. The past and the present collide inside and all around Gracey, exposing long-hidden secrets, reasons for things she never understood, and most importantly, why the madness must stop here. Forgiveness and redemption only come with a change of heart. This is a book everyone, men and women, should read. If your parents are still with you, open a dialogue and then LISTEN. If they are not, know they did their best. Love them for who they were and forgive everything. A Good Girl will help with all that and more.
