ABOUT THE NOVEL ...On Monday, June 15 Grace Sammon, well-known educator, school reformer, consultant, speaker, entrepreneur, and author of educational books launched her debut novel, The Eves.
Welcome to The Eves. In 1868 a mule and 40 acres of rich Southern Maryland farmland were given to Tobias and Delores Thatcher, newly freed slaves. Four generations later, “The Grange” is the home of Thatcher descendants and a group of women of color and colorful women determined to spend their senior years challenging themselves and others. It is an ecologically sound and emotionally explosive place. After a single visit to The Grange, the psychologically-complex and damaged Jessica Barnet sets out to catalogue the oral histories of the women. Jessica has given up on her ambition and her appearance, but not her lies, vodka, or her sense of loss and guilt. What we witness, through the vividly drawn characters, is an unexpected story. Through plot twists and turns we learn the truth of Jessica’s lies.  We also come to know the women of The Grange and the meaning of being on a life-long journey.  Together we learn, love, live, and let go. Travel to The Grange, to Washington, DC, Norway, and Africa. Experience how coming to The Grange means leaving your mark on this earth.  Learn that when our stories are told, truly, everything changes. The Eves helps answer the question – are we ever really “done?”
A myriad of reasons:

This book is about inclusion. Her richly crafted characters are black, white, hispanic, old, young, gay, and seeking answers.

It’s about Loss and Reconciliation
Relationships between parents and adult children.
Thinking you are “done” when the roles of worker, mother, daughter, spouse, all fall away.
Choosing how to and where to age.

How differently different people see the same event.
When our stories are told, truly everything changes.
