Summary:
"Bernadette," "Eleanor Oliphant," "Rosie, Ove ..."meet "Amazing Grace Adams", the funny, touching, unforgettable story of an invisible everywoman pushed to the brink--who finally pushes back. Grace Adams gave birth, blinked and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled --the unhappiest age you can be, according to the "Guardian". And today she's really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away. Grace sets off across London, armed with a birthday cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her 16th birthday. Because today is the day she'll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. Her husband thought so. Her daughter thought so. Even Grace thought so. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them ... and, most importantly, remind herself.
