Loving Grace by April Smith


Loving Grace brings together all the best elements of a country summer. The cover fits the story so perfectly! It was very interesting to get a glimpse of the many aspects a melon grower’s life, including the various regional and national watermelon associations. I had never thought about these things before.

I have now read enough about pageants to now know that they are only partly about appearance. That was brought home so much more in this book than any others that I recall reading. It was so refreshing to not have the story full of catty girls doing everything they can to win. The emphasis was much more on the work involved in being the Watermelon Queen.

I hesitate to mention this, but I do not like watermelon. Regardless, I certainly liked reading Loving Grace and highly recommend it for teens and adults alike.
