After three years of putting her life on hold, she's finally ready to ask: what does Frannie want?
Everyone in Glenn Lake calls Frannie Dailey a saint.
For three years, she devoted herself to caring for her husband Norm through his cancer treatment. She managed the medications, drove to the appointments, held his hand through the darkest nights. She did everything a good wife should do.
But saints don't count the days until it's over. Saints don't dream about running away. Saints don't stand at the kitchen window wondering who they might have been if they'd made different choices.
The truth Frannie can't tell anyone is that she almost left. The night before Norm came home with his diagnosis, she had a suitcase open on the bed. An apartment picked out across town. A speech prepared. And then everything changed.
Now Norm is in remission, and Frannie is drowning in a life she doesn't recognize. When her best friend Caroline offers her an escape, two weeks in London, Paris, and Rome, Frannie says yes before she can talk herself out of it.
What she discovers across the ocean will challenge everything she thought she knew about love, forgiveness, and the person she sees in the mirror. Because finding grace isn't just about extending it to others. Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.
An honest, emotional story about marriage, identity, and the courage it takes to start over, even after forty-seven years, Frannie's Story: Grace is the sixth book in the Finding Herself series.
Books can be read in any order, but best for characters development to be read in order.
Genre: General Fiction
