How it's Done

Brought up in a God-fearing home, eighteen-year-old Grace feels trapped in a "suburban Alcatraz" by her hypocritical holy roller father and timid mother. And then he walks into her life...Michael Irving is a college professor, a man of the world, more likely to quote Shelley than scripture, and he's gorgeous. He is everything Grace has ever dreamed of - and he loves her. Freedom brings with it unanticipated complications, though, and Grace emerges from a cage only to find herself in a maze. She quickly discovers that being the lover - and then the fiancee - of an older man is not all poetry and chardonnay. Told from Grace's perspective, "How It's Done" is an unflinching and insightful story of a young woman discovering who she wants to be.
