She knows which trees are best for climbing. She knows how to walk through the hallway without making a sound on the hardwood floor. She knows if Daddy's crop gets one more drop of rain, the whole family will pay the price. There are plenty of things Gracie doesn't know. These things keep her awake at night. Gracie longs for something bigger and grander and truer, and feels certain there is more to life beyond school and dull church sermons. She worries about the soldiers in Vietnam and wonders what it must be like to have been born Lisa Marie Presley from Tennessee instead of Gracie Lee Abbott from Arkansas. Mostly, she wishes her Daddy wasn't so mean. Gracie's unchecked imagination leads to adventure, and adventure leads to trouble. She confides in unexpected characters and seeks solace in a mysterious gray house beyond the cotton field. When Gracie faces a difficult family situation, she must make a life-altering decision, one that will test the very essence of her character. "At best, most first novels indicate potential. It would be wrong to say that, when reading Talya Tate Boerner's The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee, I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I was amazed. There's magic here, in a wonderfully-told story that will find a special place in any reader's heart." --Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author 650 0 $a Authors. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821688 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 3 952 $l YDPC572 $d 20181020010251.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719042936.0 952 $l NHPD993 $d 20180714043252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D12BC350345011E6A0D82ADEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
