An unexpected love that arises in an unusual way and takes Grace Harris's life by storm. From the author of The Air He Breathes .
Grace Harris, our protagonist in the book Shame , is lost and alone in her Atlanta home after the man she thought would be by her side for the rest of her life betrayed her trust, broke her heart, and left home, leaving her marriage on hold.
Grace then decides to spend the summer with her family in Chester, her hometown, to breathe and take a break from everything. Her life is a mess, and what she needs right now is some kindness and compassion.
Amazingly, Grace finds this in the most unlikely person of all: Jackson Emery, the town renegade. Known as the "weed of Chester," he's synonymous with trouble, and he does nothing to change that image. Having lost the most precious thing in life as a child, Jackson has become a bitter man who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him.
Grace and Jackson's paths cross in an unusual way, and the deep sadness they carry draws them together like a magnet. They both know they're not meant for each other, but since everything will end with the end of summer, they decide to let it go and indulge in a fleeting pleasure.
However, what Grace didn't imagine was that her already broken heart would be forced to learn that certain relationships are capable of causing very deep pain, and that a choice must always be made.
Shame is a moving, emotional book, and more than a romance. Brittainy C. Cherry's stunning writing is a lesson in growth, self-knowledge, and self-love.
