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-medal runner Grace Gresham-Nelson does the same things...even (in the case of the last two abilities) when she does not mean to.
Although merely human, Grace has achieved 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, and popular member of the faculty.
She is also the most private. Thus, what her students and colleagues don't know is that not everything that glitters in Grace's life...is gold.

AMAZED BY HER GRACE
3 Books. 1 Novel. 1 Amazing Story.
“The series hums with conflict and surprise, and what’s even more satisfying is the remarkable interiority of Walker’s characters.
"We not only observe Grace, Tracy, Darrel, Charmaine, and the others, but enter into their heads and hearts—so that we happily celebrate their virtues and begin to understand their failings.”
Readers all over the country have enjoyed this novel, first published on Dec. 12, 2012, and revised in April of 2015. (See readers' reviews here.)
To honor the book's twelfth anniversary, the author revisited the story, revised the text for the final time, and enlisted publishing experts to prepare a new, appealing, December 2024 print and digital edition.

"The problem with Grace Gresham-Nelson, whom even I find fascinating, is that while she tries to live a sexually godly lifestyle, she is not doing it for God. She thinks she is God, and that is her problem.
Nevertheless, she tries to run from temptation. Does she succeed 100 percent? No, but she tries, and that is the beauty of her story." - Janet Walker
