title: In the Hands of Grace
author: Greco, Dianne
description: Susan Appleton is a woman who married well, lived the life of plenty, and loses most of it when her husband Harry is killed in a car accident. She manages to walk away from the lap of luxury and her husband's greedy family with some insurance money, a summer cottage on eastern Long Island and her well-paying, highly stressful job as an assistant gem broker in Manhattan's Diamond District. Then, she is fired, the victim of office politics and downsizing. In just a few weeks, Susan realizes how blessed she is in the face of adversity and learns to appreciate all the amazing "coincidences" she is experiencing in the hands of Grace.
