Kip, Annie, Grace, David, Ted. Five different people, one terrible night. There's a storm at Point Nepean, and the ocean has swept into the bay.

Kip is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Annie is scared. David is looking. And Grace is gone. Enter Ted – with his vintage guitars and wild ideas, he's unlike anyone Kip has ever met.

As each day passes and a search is mounted, Kip cannot help asking questions – of himself, of the people around him, of everything that happened on the night of the storm.

But the biggest questions facing Kip are: Where is Grace? And who is Ted?

Falling From Grace by Jane Godwin is a captivating tale of mystery and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a raging storm and the search for a missing person.
