More About the Author
Product Description
From the Author
I wrote this book in honor of my grandmother, Grace Ward.
Grace is the story of a 60's summer, in which I learned the true story of my courageous Grandmother, an activist, a church woman, and the bravest person I've ever met. She not only overcame the racial prejudice of her neighbors, but her own deepest fears. And doing so helped me grow from a boy to a man.

Format:Hardcover
This work is worth reading as the writer shows imagination, ingenuity, and an ability to use the written word to create an image.
Format:Hardcover
Mr. Ward's portrayal of his grandmother was extremely vivid. It brought back a whole flood of emotions that I had not felt in many years. I, too, had a Grandmother that exuded the subtle power of his. I feel that this book was a gem of which more people should be made aware. A very interesting and compelling story.
Format:Hardcover
The book "Grace -- a fictional memoir" is a pleasant suprise indeed. I am amazed at the way the author captured the transfer and growth of Robert, and the way he evolved from his angst of adolesence. The character portrayals were vivid and touching. All-in-all, a very good book.

Ward's second outshines his first.
I had read Ward's first book, "The Cactus Garden", a real page turner, and thought that this author was a find. Read more

I became a part of the story.
It's rare to come across a story that parallels one's own life experience in such a way as to draw the reader in as a part of that story. Read more

Wonder Years meets the civil rights movement
Terrific book by one of the best writer's in America. Well worth reading, even if you don't normally read 'coming of age' books.
