Is this the best worst day of her life?
Once, Grace Adams was poised for great things. Now, she barely attracts a second glance as she strides down the street carrying her daughter”s sixteenth birthday cake.
But behind the scenes, Grace”s life is in freefall. Her husband is divorcing her. Her daughter has banned her from her birthday party. And Grace has just abandoned her car in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Because Grace Adams has finally had enough. She”s sick of being overlooked and underappreciated, and she”s particularly tired of being polite. She”s about to set off on a journey to rediscover who she is, and confront the secret that has torn her family apart.
What is that secret? You”re about to find out . . .

Review quote:
A tragicomic character that middle-aged women can celebrate . . .
It”s
a tale of giddy love, thwarted ambitions, devastating loss, the dangers of 21st-century adolescence, the horrors of the menopause and how badly language can let us down . . .
Littlewood writes with ferocity and compassion about Grace”s all-too-believable agonies and
the impossibility of spinning all the plates that modern life expects us to manage. Read it and weep (then cheer)

Amazing Grace Adams
takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of female rage, loss and resilience. A rip-roaring, empowering story of redemption, discovery and starting over. And the more emotional moments are
peppered with so much humour, you find yourself
laughing and crying at the same sentence. Amazing Grace Adams is
a glorious tragicomedy. The characters are wonderfully drawn and
