Catherine seeks refuge in visits to her father''s shore home, but powerful memories unsettle her. A web of memories reveals Douglas''s meaningful romance in the 1960s with Grace, a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement, and his disappointment that social justice promised during that turbulent time was never fully realized.

Nancy Allen''s Grace is a stirring investigation of sexual politics and women''s tenuous relationship with power.
