YA
Eighteen-year-old Grace's strict Christian father maintains a chokehold on her life. When his actions threaten her secret relationship with Michael, a (rather snobby) professor in his twenties, Grace rebels by getting engaged. Soon overwhelmed, she realizes that she's left one controlling relationship for another. Sympathetic, multifaceted characters allow the plot to rise above its After-School-Special dimensions.
