Dear Booksharian Friends,
I've just uploaded a high interest, low vocabulary book called Saving
Grace. The reading level is 2.4 but the content is aimed at teenage and
adult readers. These books are used in programs for reading disabled
students or students learning English as a second language. It's only 99
short pages long. I would really appreciate it if someone would take it
who is willing to check carefully for mistakes I've missed so the book
will be as clear to readers as the publishers intended it to be.
The book contains teen slang and some strong language but should not be
adult rated.
this book is 108 pages long. I didn't notice the page count field when I
was uploading. There are two additional pages of preliminary material
noted with lower case Roman Numerals.
Please contact me if you have questions. I'm keeping the print copy of the
book until it's in the collection.
Here are the long and short synopsis I've written which provide more
information than the automated fill ins.
Brief synopsis
Evie will care for her baby--even if it means kidnapping her. The problem
is the baby's father wants no part of the infant and Evie didn't learn
enough about babies in babysitting class. Is loving little Grace enough?
High interest low vocabulary for teens and adults, RL 2.4
Long synopsis
She doesn't even know that formula should be heated up or that infants
can't hold bottles by themselves. Though her mother died years ago, Evie
remembers her mother's love and wants to pass that love to her own child
who has been adopted because Evie is barely sixteen. After she kidnaps
baby Grace who she renames Brianna, she's sure her deep love for her
daughter, will provide all they need to start life in a new city far from
home. She didn't count on the baby's father not wanting his child, or not
knowing how to cope with poopy diapers. As she struggles to keep her baby
she learns that mothers will do the hardest things imaginable for their
children.
