Una poderosa celebración de la honestidad, la rabia y la resistencia femeninas que ha conquistado al gran público internacional.
Impactante, emotiva y brutalmente honesta, La extraordinaria Grace Adams cuenta a través de un solo día la historia de cómo se nos puede ir la vida de las manos antes que nos demos cuenta... y de cómo siempre hay tiempo para recuperarla.
En un caluroso día de verano, parada en un atasco infernal de camino a recoger la tarta de cumpleaños de su hija, Grace Adams llega al límite. No grita. No rompe nada. No llora. Simplemente sale del coche, lo abandona y empieza a andar. Sin embargo, no está huyendo de su vida: está yendo a su encuentro. Va hacia la hija que ya no quiere vivir con ella y que le ha prohibido asistir a su fiesta. Hacia el marido que la ha dejado. Hacia aquello tan terrible que rompió su familia en pedazos...
Va a demostrarle al mundo que no importa las veces que se caiga, todavía puede volver a levantarse. Porque Grace Adams solía ser extraordinaria. Y si a todos se les ha olvidado, ella está a punto de recordárselo.

Amazing Grace Adams
,
t
he funny, touching, unforgettable story of an invisible everywoman pushed to the brink―who finally pushes back.
Grace Adams gave birth, blinked, and now suddenly she is forty-five, perimenopausal and stalled―the unhappiest age you can be, according to the
Guardian
. And today she’s really losing it. Stuck in traffic, she finally has had enough. To the astonishment of everyone, Grace gets out of her car and simply walks away.
Grace sets off across London, armed with a £200 cake, to win back her estranged teenage daughter on her sixteenth birthday. Because today is the day she’ll remind her daughter that no matter how far we fall, we can always get back up again. Because Grace Adams used to be amazing. Her husband thought so. Her daughter thought so. Even Grace thought so. But everyone seems to have forgotten. Grace is about to remind them . . . and, most important, remind herself.
"I dare you not to fall wildly in love with Grace...It's a book about love, about grace, about even when we fall from those we love we can always find our way home...You will laugh on the first page and you will keep laughing until you're crying on the last page." ―Jenna Bush Hager, T
