Saying Grace

A powerfully moving novel about Rue Shaw, a woman who has everything worth having - a much loved daughter, a solid marriage, and a job she loves - plus one great failing. She wants things to stay the same. Set in the close-knit world of a country day school on California's gold coast, Saying Grace captures a clash of values and cultures that profoundly shakes the entire community, especially the life of Rue Shaw, who heads the school.
