Saving Grace

Fate Has it In For Grace, Can She Survive What Awaits Her?

As the only daughter of a successful businesswoman, Grace grew up with nothing but the best. Sheltered by her single mother and educated in an exclusive private school in Detroit, Grace was not ready for the harsh realities of an unforgiving world.

Grace's naiveté coupled with her desire to experience life on her own terms leaders her down a path of emotional devastation and physical abuse. Through a chance encounter Grace meets Mike, a successful design artist who introduces her to a relationship very different from her usual one-night-stands and affairs with married men.

Things take a turn for the worse however when Grace's roommate walks in on her and her personal trainer in their apartment. This betrayal tears apart Mike and Grace's romance and shatters the trust and friendship between Grace and Trina.

In the midst of torn relationships and life-shattering losses, Grace is left with no one to turn to except God she thought had long since abandoned her.
