Grace Is Gone

by Kelly Ana Morey

Billy Flower lives in the small mainly Maori town of Meridian. The fact he is irresistible to women is borne out by his twelve daughters, known about town as the Flower girls, all to different mothers. Grace is Gone centres on Billy's daughter Cherry, who has returned from overseas to Meridian after the break-up of her marriage to Bax, a British foreign correspondent of immense wealth and super breeding. He'll be following her home soon, but for the moment Cherry has returned alone to lose herself in the loving world of her family - her mother, her grandmother, dear old Billy and not to forget her gorgeous half-sisters, all eleven of them. Then there's her old childhood friend Grace; she died some years ago, but that doesn't stop her putting in regular appearances throughout the novel.
