Graceful Waters

BL Miller; Verda Foster

Joanna Carey, senior instructor at Sapling Hill wasn’t looking for anything more than completing one more year at the facility and getting that much closer to her private dream, a small cabin on a quiet lake. She was tough, smart and she had a plan for her life. When tough Instructor Carey meets angry and disillusioned Grace Waters, neither is prepared for what comes next. Stubborn and angry Grace meets her match in Carey, the strong and disciplined woman who’s determined to help Grace help herself. What she’s not expecting is that Grace will break through her own defenses. Together they will change each other’s lives in ways that neither thought possible.

Graceful “Grace” Waters is an angry and beligerent 17-year-old. Chock full of attitude and bucking authority at every opportunity, she soon finds her smart-mouth landing her in front of the same judge for the umpteenth time. Patience worn thin, the judge sentences Grace to Sapling Hill – a place specifically designed for Grace’s brand of attitude.

There she gets off to a very rocky start with Joanna Carey, the senior instructor of Sapling Hill. The instructor cuts Grace no slack whatsoever. Every time Grace’s sarcastic attitude comes out, she finds herself having to “drop and give ten” for the instructor. Saying Grace did alot of pushups is an understatement! Unexpected and difficult circumstances soon force Joanna and Grace to share quarters, where Joanna begins to suspect there is more to Grace’s attitude than meets the eye. Whatever the reason, it was something severe enough to have made the young woman become extremely bitter and uncaring about life in general.

As she spends more and more time with Grace, Joanna begins to believe that the young woman is worth saving and embarks on the task of getting Grace to face the reason behind her turmoil and anger. And maybe, just maybe, getting Grace to believe in herself once again. When someone from Joanna’s past suddenly surfaces, Grace “discovers” something about Joanna that intrigues her greatly. Joanna is a lesbian. Having just begun to sort out her own identity, this fact greatly interests Grace.

As Grace nears the end of her time at Sapling Hill, she finds her feelings for the erstwhile instructor changing – feelings that cannot be allowed by the instructor to be acted on. However, Grace has decided that Joanna is the “one” for her and sets out to do whatever it takes to get the reluctant older woman to believe this.
