Struggling New York actress Alison has an outwardly good life: toned body, plenty of dates, a comfortable daily regimen. Still, she feels stagnant, empty, and as blocked as the river view from her Upper West Side apartment. Now divorced and in her mid-thirties, she has never gotten past an early childhood trauma of being torn away from her brother and sister when her parents separated. Since then, nothing sticks. No one stays. She craves a sense of permanence, a place to call home. A Place Called Grace is a humorous, hopeful, bittersweet contemporary memoir that shows how a seemingly unmoored existence can find its safe, solid center after all.

The focus of the book is not only towards reaching the goal and sustaining it, but also on never missing the other hidden treasures in life during the travel. Though the journey is towards the IT field, the reader can relate regardless of the profession they are in.

Lessons learned from Palaniswamy's struggles can be applied as such so that you need not undergo the same pain.
Christians differ in their beliefs. And that sometimes makes Christianity seem confusing to those outside the faith. It isn’t. This book offers a simple, conversational explanation about its main concepts–the ones that support everything else. It is written in plain, everyday language for those with little or only a superficial exposure to Christianity that are exploring it for a better understanding of its basic belief system.
