Reseña del libro "Saving Grace (en Inglés)"
Fifteen-year-old Brian Hollis is still trying to understand what it means to be a big brother when his world changes in an instant.After a devastating accident takes both of his parents, Brian is left with two things he cannot bear to lose: his infant sister, Grace, and the promise he makes to protect her. But Brian is still a child himself, and the law will not allow him to raise a baby alone. With nowhere else to go, the siblings are sent to live with the estranged grandfather Brian has never met, in an aging house at the edge of town where old wounds, family secrets, and a forgotten wishing well have been waiting for them.What begins as a story of grief becomes a story about the family we fight to keep.As the years pass, Brian grows from a frightened teenager into Grace's fiercest protector. He works whatever jobs he can find, stretches every dollar, repairs what breaks, and learns how to navigate guardianship, school, medical appointments, and the daily realities of Grace's disability. Through developmental dysplasia of the hip, braces, crutches, a wheelchair, therapy, and the possibility of major surgery, Grace faces every challenge with a stubborn brightness that continually reminds Brian what they are fighting for.But love does not make the bills disappear.When medical expenses, an aging home, storm damage, and the threat of losing the property pile one crisis on top of another, Brian's determination is pushed to its limit. To protect Grace's future, he will have to confront his fear of accepting help, rediscover the community around him, and learn that carrying everything alone is not the same as being strong.Saving Grace is an emotional contemporary family drama about sibling relationships, coming of age, caregiving, grief and loss, disability, financial hardship, found family, community, and resilience.Tender, hopeful, and grounded in the ordinary sacrifices that hold families together, it is ultimately a story about a brother determined to save his little sister-and the unexpected ways Grace saves him in return.
