Grace - Marcia Lake

When Marcia finds coping with day-to-day life hard, she slips into another reality - one where Bono confides in her and Morrissey gives her advice. Her one saving grace is her deep belief that she will get better... and her unabiding love of life. Marcia also finds that prayer, meditation and her faith in Angels pulls her through when the times are tough. Grace really breaks down barriers and educates the reader as to what mental illness is and what those that suffer with it are going through. It does not sugar coat but tells the story from the point of view of a young, modern lady and her family; describing how they all cope with Marcia's diagnosis. Marcia eventually changed from patient to healer - her qualification in Reflexology is her pride and joy -she is now living a completely normal life, far away from hospitals and wards. She also composes music to great acclaim, records CDs and plays packed clubs. Marcia is now treated as an equal by all those who meet her - she shows that despite any diagnosis, one can live a full, rich and integrated life - all it takes is faith, hope and friendship... oh, and a cat called Indy.
