Grace - Cathy Firster

Some homes teach you how to live.
Others teach you how to survive.

What if the place meant to save you... became the place that broke you?

In GRACE, the second book in the Porchlight series, Angie is taken from everything she knows and placed into a home that promises structure, faith, and protection.

Instead, she learns silence.

Behind the walls of a "proper" household, where rules are strict and appearances matter, Angie navigates a world of control, fear, and confusion. Guided by religion but stripped of comfort, she begins to understand a painful truth:

Not all harm looks like harm.
And not all authority can be trusted.

As days turn into years, routines replace freedom, questions go unanswered, and survival becomes quiet obedience. But even in the darkest places, something inside Angie refuses to disappear.

GRACE is a powerful, emotionally gripping story of resilience, identity, and the moment a child begins to see the world for what it truly is.

This is not just a story about what happened-
It's about what it takes to survive it.
