About The Book
Set in the heat of Arizona’s landscape in the mid-90s, Falling from Grace follows the fictional story of a pregnant eighteen-year-old hoping that she can save herself and her unborn child from the emotional and physical abuse of her father.
Nestled within the confines of a weather-beaten trailer park, Grace Callaway’s life unfolds amidst a tapestry of Arizona heat, dusty roads, and the hum of a community where everyone is grappling with their own set of challenges.
In the shadow of the Catalina Mountains, where dreams seem distant and aspirations often fade, Grace hopes for a better life for her child than she had growing up.
Between the mother who abandoned her and the father who resents her for it, Grace has never had it easy in life. Her only hope is to leave behind the life she has known and create something more for herself. Whilst navigating the complexities of her fractured family, Grace finds unexpected solace in her new neighbor, Peter. Peter becomes the needed support in her journey toward leaving her current life behind.
Will Grace’s strength be enough to sever the ties to her abusive past and create a new legacy for her child? Falling from Grace is a powerful exploration of resilience, redemption, and the enduring spirit that can arise from the darkest corners of life
About The Author
MEL FOSTER was diagnosed with ADD and NVLD (non verbal language disorder) at a young age. Because of her difficulty verbally expressing herself, she found solace in writing. Through her writing she was able to express herself in a way she never knew possible. From the age of eleven, she began filling notebooks with her stories, and at only seventeen, Foster submitted her first manuscript to a publisher. Receiving positive encouragement to keep writing, she decided to work diligently toward her dream of becoming a published writer.
Though expressing herself verbally became easier with time, her writing continued to be both an escape and her passion. Now, she considers storytelling her superpower.
Her debut novel, Falling From Grace is her first published work, but Foster is already a prolific writer having written twenty novels by age twenty-three.
