When eleven-year-old Gracie met Michael, she was stumped. Why was he so kind when the boys all called her mean names and laughed at her? When others, even the girls, excluded her? She was determined to find out and to give him a gift to say thank you. What would happen if she was bold enough to enter the boys' lair? Would Gracie ever be glad that God had made her a girl? Would she ever have good friends, both boys and girls? What about Dad? Would Dad ever accept Gracie and show her kindness like Michael had? Accepting Gracie is set in fictional Yarralinga, South Australia in the 1960s- a story of finding friendship, forgiveness and acceptance.
