The author was friend to me, and a mentor to my daughter. I read the book before allowing my 11 year to read it. It addresses some intense scenarios, but in a manner suited for the audience. Pat was truly an inspiration to many…and not just through his printed words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parents; Read it. Get your kids to read it. Then talk about it.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2009
I highly recommend that parents and their teens and pre-teens read this book. My straight-"A", 13 year old daughter and I really enjoyed reading it. We had a brief but important conversation about it afterwards. The characters are fleshed out enough for their parts in the story which flows nicely. I've never surfed anything except maybe the Web. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of the joy of surfing. There is a purposeful yet subtle placation about the main character's dire situation. Personnally, this lead to a real eye-opener for me. It was a very precarious situation for Marguerite which, luckily, she was able to overcome. Can you tell that I got into the story? I couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, in this day and age, Marguerite's situation is not too uncommon. This is enjoyable reading. Can't wait to find out what is in store for Marguerite in the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars waves of grace
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2009
I loved the book. I bought copies for several nieces for Christmas. One niece
hates to read, but her name is Grace so she read the book. She not only loved it
but is going to read more. I'm looking forward to his next book. Would Helen be
happier if marguerite had been raped and murdered by her moms boyfriend. The book
is a great read for young teens. I think helens review is off the mark.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coming of age novel for the new millenium
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2009
Waves of Grace deals quite directly with a broken family situation and how a young girl perseveres to find her niche in school and finally reach out for help. It's an inspirational read for tweeners and teens adjusting to a new situation (i.e., new school; etc.), facing trying times, or just trying to define who they are and how they fit in. It's also pretty relevant for any teacher, counselor, or others who work with young adults. The development of Grace's character and those *outside* her nuclear family as Grace's problems come to a head is particularly well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Relevant & Positive Teen Lit
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2009
Waves of Grace is a positive, well written novel that touches on issues that unfortunately affect many families these days. Everyone knows or knows of someone who is a victim/survivor today. Grace gives us hope. I commend the author on a wonderful first work!
