Set against the backdrop of two neighboring Southern towns, Sufficient Grace is the powerful, affecting story of two families over the course of a year, from one Easter season to the next.One quiet spring day, Gracie Hollaman hears voices in her head that tell her to get in her car and leave her entire life behind -- her home, her husband, her daughter, her very identity. Gracie's subsequent journey releases her genius for painting and effects profound changes in the lives of everyone around her.
A spellbinding work, Sufficient Grace explores the power of personal transformation and redemption, and the many ordinary and extraordinary ways they come to pass through faith, love, motherhood, art, even food. This poignant, poetic study of the human condition affirms the enduring importance of relationships and the strength we derive from them, even though we sometimes have to leave behind an old identity in order to discover our soul.
Beautifully paced, filled with unforgettable characters, Sufficient Grace reveals the vital place that spirit and belonging have in every inner life -- and in the everyday world.

This purchase was my fourth copy of Sufficient Grace. After I read it, I had to order two more to share with friends; I simply asked that they pass them on to share with others. Then I found that I needed yet another to share with a new friend. I cannot share my own.
I did find the book a little hard to get into; it just didn't seem like my kind of story at first. It is, however, a book about family--both blood and found; about accepting and understanding mental illness; and about character redemption and growth.
I just love it! I hope she writes another novel. I'm waiting.

It happens sometimes that I accidentally buy a book on amazon that is more religious in themes/messages then I care for. When I started this book, I thought this was one of them. However, while the book has some general tones of forgiveness and redemption, the religious overtones are gentle and uplifting. I enjoyed meeting these characters and learning about their world. I appreciate that the author could walk a balance that I enjoyed.

I could not get into this book. I was not very intrigued by the characters. Some of them were interesting but most of them I didn't care about at all! It is at times amusing but most of it is just plain painful to get through. There is way too much description about things that really didn't matter to the story. I really wanted to like this story and I kept waiting for it to get good but it didn't and I finally I gave up.

Anyone who knows Darnell knows she is a warm and caring person. These characteristics emerge in her beautiful novel of a life with a mother who is mentally ill. Deftly and skillfully, Darnell pulls us into the story and sweeps us along for the ride.

Absolutely loved this book. It was a surprise as it took a little reading to find just how delightful a read it is ... with a lot of thoughts to ponder. I'm still thinking about it. Best thing I can say about it ... I didn't want it to end.
