Hey book club members! We hope you are enjoying your summer with Treasuring Grace.
In

“And you can’t reach her from here.” What are two possible
explanations for that?
SPOILER ALERT:
In
Chapters 17 through 19, do you notice anything different happening with Grace?
Prior
to this, Liz ’s belief in Grace
has been mostly unobtrusive, with a lot of whispered conversations. There have
been instances where Liz ’s
word choice might have confused others, but it was always easy to find an
explanation that didn’t include Grace – which would have been the
perception of a character grounded in reality. However, there are events in
these chapters where Liz ’s behavior
would seem increasingly odd to someone who was observing her or listening
closely: laughing, jumping in the lake, playing games by herself, etc. She’s
getting closer to a breakdown.
In
Chapter 18, Liz ’s grandfather says
“And you can’t reach her from here.” What are two possible
explanations for that?
Liz is supposed to
understand that Grace is dead and with her grandfather in heaven. That’s
why she can’t reach her. However, the interpretation that
Liz chooses and the one more obvious to a reader
would be that Liz needs to get her
butt moving so that she can reach Grace in the water.
Read Chapters 20- 22
