The Stars are Fire

This was the right book at the right time. Although it contained a lot of tragedy, ultimately it was a story of hope, which fit what I needed at that moment.

I loved Grace. I empathized with Grace. I spent a lot of time wondering what I would do in Grace's shoes, both as a woman of her time, and as a woman of my time.

A lot of the book is about what makes a house a home. The same space can be heaven or hell based on with whom you share that space. Beauty or squalor.

Ultimately, Grace realizes her life is her own, full of possibilities.
