Grace Summit

Publication Date: September 2022

Genre: NA College Romance/ FF Romance (slightly literary bent)

Ann, Amelia, and Jackie arrive at Grace Summit Bible College with their own particular heartbreaks. Ann is lonely and hungry for belonging, Amelia is broken from abuse and separation from her child, and Jackie is searching for friendships to sustain her.

Ann and Amelia find the connection they seek in one another, but they must navigate the college’s religious mandates and eventually, the passage of decades. It is during those passing years that Jackie comes to understand the influence Amelia’s and Ann’s love story has had on her own life.

Grace Summit explores the lives of women coming of age in the late ’80s, navigating their places in a changing world. Giving each woman a voice to reflect on her story, it weaves together attraction, love, religion, and finally, aging, illness, and loss. It’s an achingly beautiful novel that spans cities and lifetimes, capturing the intensity of first loves and women’s friendships.

Available on Amazon

Rating & Review

5 out of 5

This was both heartwarming and heartbreaking in the stories it told. Three different women whose lives are entwined when still young. I really enjoyed reading this, even if I had to reach for a tissue a few times, it was balanced by the moments that made me smile. Above all, this was a peek into a time when things were much different than they are today, and the toll those differences could take on someone, especially a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Roma has a beautiful, eloquent style that draws the reader in, and makes the story unfold around them. If you’re a fan of emotional women’s fiction, you’re going to love this book!
