| Summary | "Amazing Grace, Who Proves That Virtue Has Its Silver Lining" by Kate Trimble Sharber is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Grace Christie, a young woman caught between familial expectations and her own desires, as she navigates her complex relationships and the pressures of society in Oldburgh, a microcosm of southern life. The book explores themes of identity, autonomy, and the interplay of personal and familial legacy. At the start of the narrative, we witness Grace's christening, where her mother faces familial disapproval over naming her after a virtue. This scene sets the stage for Grace's inner conflict stemming from her name's expectations and her complicated family dynamics, particularly her divided heritage from the Christie and Moore families. We are introduced to a lively cast, including critical aunts and relatives, who openly express their judgments about Grace's fate, framing her as a child burdened by ancestral legacies. As the opening unfolds, Grace's reflections reveal her yearning for independence and a creative career, hinting at larger themes of growth and self-discovery that will be further explored throughout the novel.
