Review of Gracie (2007) by Danielle S — 18 Sep 2007

This is a story of a loving, close-knit family in the 1970s. The father is obsessed with his love of soccer and for his children, which include two grade school sons, his high school son and soccer star, and high school daughter, Gracie.

All of his children share his passion for the game. A tragedy occurs and the high school daughter is determined to play with the high school boys' soccer team. Carly Schroeder played an amazing role as 'Gracie', she loved her brother and they were truly heart-to-heart.

I think Carly has created, out of an impossibly pure and quite visible heart, one of the most memorable and believable female heroines I have ever seen.
