Twelve-year-old Grace lives with her sister and grandmother in a two-bedroom rent-controlled New York City apartment. On Saturday, April 19, 1986, she finds herself on the run, outwitting her grandmother, kissing a boy she really likes, and tricking adults out of their spot in line at a local Jamaican restaurant, all while she constantly thinks about parents she never really knew. Just when she thinks she has everything under control, her world is turned upside. Her account of the day is one part punchy and humorous and another part sad and all too real.

Listening to Amazing Grace, I could identify with some of her story; feeling overburdened or put upon. Grace had no parent in her life; she had her elderly, ailing grandmother and a pain-in-the-neck sister. Following an afternoon on the street, an event occurs that leaves Grace wondering who can she trust? What will happen to her next?
Amazing Grace is an insightful story of a pre-teen in the inner city.
I had read the book and commented that it was a little difficult for me read because the speech style was different than my own. The author graciously sent to me an audible version with no requirements attached.

I really enjoyed this book. Usually I don't listen to audio books because I prefer to bring the characters to life in my own way but this book was different. The narrator did a wonderful job and the story was interesting from start to finish. Grangran is a nosy old woman with nothing to do but get in everyone's business.

A relatable story
