| Plot Summary of And Grace Will Lead Me Home |
"Following the murder of their childhood friend, Grace Ann, Ellott--a single, 40-something librarian--and her roommate, Rosie--a divorced mother of three--confront the effects of her death and the flux of their own lives. Set in North Alabama and Birmingham, the richly detailed mystery unfolds a story of obsession, past loyalties, love, murder and saving grace. Old Time Music, hits from the '60s, and the spirit of Elvis provide a harmonious backdrop."
Jane Mitchell, Resident Scholar
