Grace has always had wild red hair like no one else in her family and a birthmark on her shoulder that her mother told her was the mark of an angel. When Grace is sent from new York to spend the summer with her grandmother in Trinidad, she looks through the family album and discovers a blurred photograph of a stranger with a birthmark–her birthmark– and Grace is full of questions. No one is able to identify the man in the photo, and Grace is left with no choice but to find out who he is and what he might mean to her. What Grace does not know is that her search will lead to a discovery about herself and her family that she never could have imagined.
Tracey Baptiste’s first novel is a tender coming-of-age story set on the island of Trinidad. Angel’s Grace explores the meaning of identity and truth, and the unbreakable ties of a family bound by love.
The next Angel’s Grace should be about Grace going to spend the summer with her real dad’s family!
Hi im from miss orzepowski’s 7th grade class and i think you should write another seaquel to Angel’s Grace. It should be about her trip Venezula to see her family.
Im a student from Ms. Orzepowski’s 7th grade class. I want to know what you feel like when you see your book at a library.
Interesting to know I have the same name.
Well hello, Grace!
I’m happy to know that my fictional Grace is in good company.
I think that Grace should go to Venezuela to meet her father’s side. Then she should go to Trinidad and see her Mother’s side again. She should also have more adventures with Raj. Also maybe she should maybe bring her best friend and of course Sally.
Hi Penny,
I think those are excellent ideas. I have long been thinking about returning to Grace’s story. My mother especially has been trying to get me to write a sequel. So far, I haven’t come up with a compelling storyline, but just knowing that so many people want to see her story continue is a great inspiration to me to keep working on it. As soon as I have an idea, you can be sure I’ll announce it here.
Thanks so much for posting!
