This book brought back my Grandmother.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
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.
Writer is very talented. Recommended reading.

This work is worth reading as the writer shows imagination, ingenuity, and an ability to use the written word to create an image.
An exceptional story from an interesting author.

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.
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. Robert Ward's "Grace" did that to me. I spent a good deal of my youth in the same region, at the same period in time -- and with the same emotions. Ward's book brought back floods of sights and sounds and vibes and, amazingly, smells of that misspent youth. I applaud Mr. Ward for this tome and look forward to his next book.

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.
