That's what fifteen-year-old Naomi learns after she escapes the brutal confines of life on an Alabama plantation and takes refuge in a Georgia brothel run by a gun-toting Jewish madam named Cynthia. Amidst a revolving door of gamblers and prostitutes, Naomi falls into a love affair with a smooth-talking white man named Jeremy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe product of their union is Josey, whose white skin and blond hair mark her as different from the others on the plantation. Having been taken in as an infant by a free slave named Charles, Josey has never known her mother, who was murdered at her birth. Josey soon becomes caught in the tide of history when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaches her and a day of supposed freedom turns into one of unfathomable violence that will define Josey--and her lost mother-- for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrace\u003c\/i\u003e is a sweeping, intergenerational saga featuring a group of outcast women during one of the most compelling eras in American history.
