Grace Is
Gone
by Emily
Elgar
this book
is inspired by a stunning true story. As a young girl, Grace who is seventeen
years old has several health issues and is completely dependent of her mother
Megan and her wheelchair. These two women are adored by people of their community.
Megan has long suffered abuse by her husband and has lost her first child. One day
Meg took Grace with her to start a new life and with this history they are protected
and strongly supported by their neighbors and members of their community.
This due
has a bitter and heartbreaking truth behind it that is being discovered a journalist
called Jon. These investigations and discoveries all happen when Cara, Meg’s next-door
neighbor walks into their house and finds Megs battered to death and Grace’s
wheelchair empty in the house with Grace nowhere to find.
And now Cara is
focused on discovering the truth about this murder and is doing all she can to
find Grace.
Grace has
a diary left behind that is a great help to both Jon and Cara to dig deeper
into this murder. this is a very sad and heartbreaking story and knowing that
this is based on a true story made me more emotional reading this book.
There
is an altering narration between chapters that I really enjoyed. Since I was highly
aware of Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, I found the story very predictable and the book
didn’t hold any surprises thus there was no twist and turns.
If you
enjoy reading books based on a true story you will for sure enjoy this read.
