State of Grace

This is the sequel to Fall from Grace, revisiting the troubled Hearn family in the aftermath of the tragic loss of their son Gabriel. The Hearns’ lives have taken on a ‘new normal’ and they strive to support each other, still living on the beautiful island of Anglesey. There are secrets surrounding Gabriel's suicide, and the subsequent deaths of both his godparents, that only Dan Hearn, his son Michael and brother Jack know about. The three men have made a pact to ensure that Grace never finds out the truth. Life continues undisturbed until magazine proprietor Adam Foster, brother of deceased Nick Foster, the twins' godfather, visits Anglesey to try to establish the truth. Dan Hearn becomes suspicious about Adam's real motive for visiting Anglesey and informs Jack. With Jack Hearn's involvement, Adam Foster is in more danger than he could possibly imagine. Adam’s journalism takes him to sacred ancient sites, extraordinary people, and more than one unexpected visit from his own demons. He attempts to alert Grace to the truth, but Jack conspires with Dan and Michael to prevent the harmful and distasteful truth from emerging. Using his power and influence, Jack tries to revoke Adam’s resolve and return him to a life he thought he’d left behind.
