Produktbeschreibung
A sweeping fire burns red, but a single flame burns golden. One brings light and warmth, the other brings destruction and terror. Fire waits to be disobeyed, and then it takes what, or who, it wants--but not anymore. It is the summer of 1980, and Grace works in Philadelphia as an apprentice to her good friend, Mr. Duncan. Day by day, Grace reaches deep within herself to conjure up something worth writing, worth reading, and worthy of her hot-blooded publisher, Mr. Henry Winger. Soon, the days begin to blur together . . . until Grace discovers a newspaper article that sparks her fire. Inspired by chance, Grace decides to take action against her hometown of Centralia, Pennsylvania, and writes a tell-all exposé about the now-ghost town's twisted past. Enlisting the help of the widespread media a big city has to offer, Grace soon finds her words spreading, and fast. Will the acts of Grace bring justice to her family? Or will it all crumble down into the fire that burns below? Join Grace, Joseph, and her new friends as they help her spread the word about Centralia's dark history, while facing the demons she has spent so long running from.
Autorenporträt
Sydney Walters is an author, press release writer, and digital marketer from Washington, DC. She writes for numerous publications, including Your Health Magazine and The Prompt, and also maintains a beauty blog for a local hair salon. Short stories, sappy love poems, and clever birthday cards are some of her lesser-known works. Fascinated by ghost towns from an early age, Sydney is now an avid explorer of ruins and abandoned places around the globe, including Centralia, Pennsylvania. The town's history and cultural impact--serving as the inspiration for the horror franchise Silent Hill--moved Sydney to write her own take on it, and thus, State of Grace was born. Acts of Grace is the second in a series centered around historical events told from a young woman's perspective.
