About the novel
In ancient Greek mythology, Athena effected strategic warfare; Helen of Troy caused supernatural beings and mortals to sin because of her beauty; and Medusa transformed people with a stare.
In modern-day Atlanta, Georgia, former Olympic gold medalist Grace Gresham-Nelson does the same things...even when she does not mean to.
Although merely human, Grace has almost mythical status at Beck Academy, an elite, historically black all-girl school where Grace is a nationally successful athletics director and the most admired, stylish, popular, and private member of the faculty.
However, what her students and colleagues don't know is that not everything that glitters in Grace's life...is gold.

Janet Walker is a very descriptive writer. Her ability to take a story and bring it alive on paper [is] incredible. At times I had to remind myself that it wasn’t a movie. She so beautifully gave such detail into the lives of the characters that they become real. Her attention to details in the settings and time-relevant historical information makes it even more compelling a story. I did not give it a perfect rating because I am left with some confusion and wondering. By the end of the series I’m still not sure the audience or the intention of the book. How important is the specific reference to Jehovah’s Witness as the faith setting? Is this book promoting the idea of homosexuality as an identity? [Great question. See author's answer below.] Does Pastor Charmaine believe there is a place for the homosexual lifestyle in the life of the believer? What becomes of Tracy Sullivan? – Anonymous, March 30, 2015
("While Amazed by Her Grace does examine the gravity of sin in the lives of its characters, it does not seek to promote or condone any behavior or thinking that is condemned in scripture. It investigates; it doesn't advocate. And while biblical and religious themes permeate the narrative and will be readily understood by Christians, the novel is a secular work." - JW)

Truly Amazing. One of the most moving, insightful and powerful stories that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Kudos to the author for truly bringing this story and [its] characters to life. – Anonymous, July 14, 2013.
