Sinossi
It’s 2010 and Alyssa and Richard Bradshaw are living in West Severance, Vermont, in a beautiful wood-and-glass house they built. It sits on land they bought from the Martel family—land which had been part of the Martel farm for generations. Sam and Bonnie Martel live just down the road, and though Alyssa says the burly Sam scares her, the two families get along, even though the Bradshaws are transplants from Connecticut and Vermonters tend to regard anyone who hasn’t been there since 1720 an outsider.
When Sam loses his job in the granite sheds and Alyssa gets a diagnosis of cancer, the effects begin to ripple outward, affecting multiple generations of both families, from Alyssa’s 84-year-old mother to Sam and Bonnie’s grandson. Some relationships are strengthened by these changes, but others are taxed to the breaking point and beyond.
Like Willa Cather’s Prairie Trilogy, Unexpected Grace is a story about the pioneer spirit, the ordinary tragedies that beset real people, and the moments of beauty and happiness that transcend the darkest times.

Informazioni sull'autore
Ruth Porter was born in New York City and grew up in Alliance, Ohio, where her father was a doctor. She graduated from Laurel School in Cleveland, and from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. She did a year of secretarial school in Boston and then got married to Bill Porter. In 1964, they went to Vermont, to Clarendon Springs, near Rutland. After eight years they moved to a hill farm in Adamant, near Montpelier, where they have lived ever since. Ruth raised four children and took care of the farm. (One of the children said that she and Bill learned everything they knew about farming from books, and most of those books were novels.) They had varying numbers of sheep, cows, pigs and chickens, and a big garden. Altogether, they raised most of their food. Ruth spent her whole life reading and writing, but she began working on serious fiction during those hectic years. She has published three novels, as well as a book about her grandfather, Maxwell Perkins, one of America’s most widely respected editors. Bill and Ruth started the publishing company, Bar Nothing Books, in 2005.
