![]() ![]() Gracie, the protagonist faces an ethical dilemma that torments her very being as certain scenarios get tougher. The pacing of The Stand In was prefect, ebbing and flowing up and down with the normal vicissitudes of life – the ups and downs we all experience. Anybody that works a day job can relate to this protagonist, and even come to root for her from the onset of her struggles presented in The Stand In. Reading between the lines, I could feel the agony and despair that this character feels at first, simply going through the motions in life entering work ever day, only to feel underappreciated, even harassed at times.Īnd sometimes life hits us as life hits Gracie in this book by having to deal with a mother whom needs constant care in a nursing home due to her Alzheimer’s. It had me hooked from the first chapter with the protagonist, “Gracie,” feeling so real. I for one, am not usually into what some would call, “chick-lit,” but this book transcends all gender labels. I just listened to “The Stand In” audio book and I cannot say enough good things about this book! ![]()
