3.5 stars. I'm amazed Dana Beachy wrote this book at such a young age. She delves into so many deep themes every teen faces--love, belonging, acceptance. Grace isn't sure what to think of landing on a Wyoming ranch where her new foster family welcomes her with open arms. Is there a catch? Are they just being nice. She soon discovers much more than she expects. A little bit more telling than showing in some of the chapters, but I loved how Beachy included Scripture and truth woven into this tale. Her heart for the Lord is clear through all the pages.

I really liked the story of God's grace in this book. His people obeyed and reached out to Grace with love, kindness and compassion. The writing wasn't very captivating, though, and the love story between Grace and Caleb was a bit too predictable and distracting. I also would have liked to see more emotions from the Jennings family. They were almost too Christian. However, I appreciated the message of this book. "Saving Grace" could be a powerful tool to help young people see the love God has for them.
