The Book of Grace is a narrative memoir structured around snapshot events that span North America, West and East Europe, the Middle East, and the Orient and both directly and indirectly touches a half century of sundry historical events and pop culture: WWII, Ronald Reagan (as host of GE Theater), Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth, the assassination of JFK, the Draft, Vietnam, Nine Eleven (from a Kuwaiti home), and more. The book visits war, love, death, sex, murder, religion, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, parenting, divorce, depression, suicide, et. al. and a plethora of light and benign fare. In its wide scope, The Book of Grace shows what most human beings share: The grace and art of suffering.
