This woman asks Precious to take on a case: to find the nursemaid who raised her during her childhood in Botswana. The woman wants to thank her for being such an important part of her life. Precious has a history of successfully solving cases, but this one proves difficult and throws up a number of surprises and challenges.   Back in her office, next door to the Speedy Motors Garage on Twokleng Road, Precious also has a team to manage: Mr Polopetsi, a part-time science teacher and new assistant at the agency; she mentors Charlie, a former apprentice and young man too handsome and charming for his own good - a man who has gotten himself in deep water; and then there is Precious's tumultuous but heart-warming friendship with her co-director, the fiery Grace Makutsi.   Precious and Grace is a story about being a detective, the complexities of human nature, as well as lessons about gratitude and obligation.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990173835483,"sku":"9781408708118-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781408708118-us-300.jpg?v=1724737538","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781408708118-secondhand-precious-and-grace","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
