I’ll Do It My Way: Rebellious Protagonists

“Brought up in a God-fearing home, eighteen-year-old Grace feels trapped in a “suburban Alcatraz” by her hypocritical holy roller father and timid mother. And then he walks into her life . . . Michael Irving is a college professor, a man of the world, more likely to quote Shelley than scripture, and he’s gorgeous. He is everything Grace has ever dreamed of - and he loves her. Freedom brings with it unanticipated complications, though, qnd Grace emerges from a cage only to find herself in a maze. She quickly discovers that being the lover - and then the fiancée - of an older man is not all poetry and chardonnay. Told from Grace’s perspective, How It’s Done is an unflinching and insightful story of a young woman discovering who she wants to be.”
