ACT OF GRACE
Karen Simpson
Why would Grace Johnson, a bright, African-American high school senior, save the life of a Ku Klux Klansman named Jonathan Gilmore?
That question hovers over Grace’s hometown of Vigilant, Michigan, and few people, black or white, understand her actions–especially since rumor has it that many years ago, a member of the Gilmore family murdered several African-American residents. And if Grace had her way, she would not reveal the circumstances that led her to make what some deem to be a foolish sacrifice and an act of treason against her race.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THROUGH
Michelle Donice
“If she were asked to name what she was missing, she would be hard-pressed to say, yet she knew deep within her being that whatever it was, it was vital to her survival.”
Jessie Winters has it all: the perfect house; a loving husband; an adorable little girl; a career; and all of the outer trappings that signify a rich and blessed life. But underneath it all, she’s missing something, a thing that she can’t quite put her finger on, but a thing that gnaws at her picture-perfect existence and exposes the deep cracks beneath her surface.
