Tender Grace by Jackina Stark, who has a name that looks like it should have a direwolf trailing after it, is her standalone contemporary literary/women's fiction novel starring a widow who embarks on an inspirational journey of self-rediscovery in the wake of her loss, by fulfilling her and her late husband's intention to visit the one place they never did together, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.

Description
Audrey Eaton awakes at three in the morning and gets up to retrieve her husband, Tom, from the recliner where he has fallen asleep watching a ball game. But when she enters the living room and looks at his gentle face in the soft lamp light, she knows their time together is over. Grief attacks her until all she can think about is how much she wants her old life back.
Determined to find healing, she embarks on a journey to the one place Tom and she always intended to visit but never did. Along the way, she discovers, through shared experiences with friends old and new, the meaning of the "tender graces" God provides each and every day.
