Grace

By J S McInroy

Were one to seek a definitive meaning for the term "Grace," that seeker might become entangled in the various threads of connotation dictionaries ascribe to the concept. Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary offers, "Unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification" as well as the archaic "mercy." Either and both of these adequately and succinctly describe the central theme of Mr. McInroy's novel. Smitty, Lyndi, Tara, Arthur, and Lottie/Ruth are led to their very own sanctified regeneration through the abundant mercy of God, Jesus, Paloma, Pam, Jerry Garcia, and Mary Elizabeth. Each ultimate destination is unique to the individual, and each path winds through a different sometimes bramble-clogged wilderness: Woodstock '94 and '99, Coney Island, and the mind of Empinada, inmate sister of the Holy Dove herself. Along the way the travelers will come to understand. Something.For what that's worth.Of primary importance: be aware that Fire is the friend of more than just the Devil.
