I, too, immediately think of the Grace of God. It is easy to ignore grace and focus on everything that is wrong with the world. But, all I need to give myself a BIG reminder is a walk along the shore of Lake Superior on a beautiful fall day.

Grace for me is when deep understanding comes in moments of totally unexpected clarity.

The best example I can give is from my new book. (This is not a promo, just an expression of what I think grace is.) The hero doesn't realize how strong he can be and how brave he is deep down until the moment when he's flat on his back and just had the stuffing kicked out of him. Only then does he find the courage to pursue his goal (which, in this case, means risking it all for a more honest kind of love).

To me, that's grace. The knowledge of deeper truths that comes unbidden and unexpectedly. So important in life and fiction.
