Gracie, from Suffolk, had a happy childhood, growing up by the sea with a loving and supportive family. But when she was 11 her life turned upside down after a near-fatal car accident left her with a severe brain injury.
Gracie experienced post-trauma amnesia and had to begin again building back her memories to piece together her childhood.
Although this was such challenging part of her life she has turned it all around by writing happy and positive children's picture books which encourage children that they are loved just the way they are.
Through the sales of her books and positive message she wants to help street kids and kids that have been involved in head injuries and bless them through their lives in anyway she can.
