{"product_id":"9781921248498-retail-grace-beside-me","title":"Grace Beside Me","description":"Age range 12 to 18 Written from teenager girl Fuzzy Mac's perspective,  Grace Beside Me  is a quirky, warmly rendered story of home and family life in a small town. The black\u0026amp;write! judges remarked on the authentic feel of the Indigenous home life of Fuzzy Mac and her grandparents - her guardians since the death of her mother. Awkward episodes of teen rivalry and romance sit happily alongside the mystery of Gran's visions and an encounter with a ghost. The story sits against a backdrop of amazing characters including the holocaust survivor who went to school with Einstein; the sleazy, once-good-looking Mayor; the little priest always rushing off to bury someone before the heat gets to them; the wife basher up the road; Lola's Forest, dedicated to Lola, a traditional Aboriginal woman who met Ned Kelly - and Nan and Pop.  Grace Beside Me  interweaves the mundane with the profound and the spiritual - it is full of wisdom and good advice (Fuzzy call's Nan 'the queen of all knowing') on everything from how to to 'sit a while' in the bush and connect with country to how to properly hang out the washing.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48920326668507,"sku":"9781921248498-RETAIL","price":19.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1798ead1-8bb0-49ff-a05b-45aa389b6e89_40b42563-57b0-43f9-85f7-3a3e9a79a58e.jpg?v=1782818508","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781921248498-retail-grace-beside-me","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
