Because of Gracia Tom Simes

Based on the award-winning film starring Moriah Peters and Chris Massoglia, Because of Grácia follows the stories of Chase Morgan, Grácia Davis, and their fellow high school seniors as they face life-altering decisions on their journeys of faith, friendship, and love.

Chase Morgan would love to live up to his name and pursue something great. It's his senior year and he's still as insecure as ever, but Eastglenn High's newest student is about to turn that around. Grácia is a girl with charisma, intelligence, and conviction, but she's not as "together" as Chase and his best friend OB might think. A dark past gives her a unique connection with Bobbi, a misunderstood classmate with a strained home life and an all-too-cute boyfriend as her means of escape.

As Bobbi struggles with a life-and-death decision, and Chase risks rejection, Grácia challenges her friends, teachers, and even herself to experience the transformative power of grace.

Because of Gracia: A Novel, inspires readers to stand strong in the face of adversity and reminds us of the transformative power of grace.
