Warm, insightful and poignant, Freeing Grace tells the story of David, curate of an inner-city parish, and Leila, his Nigerian-born wife. Unable to have children of their own, they’re desperate for a family. When they finally hear they’ve been approved to adopt a baby, Grace, they can scarcely believe their good fortune.

There’s just one problem for which David and Leila cannot plan; Grace’s birth family - the enigmatic, charismatic Harrisons. Enlisting their friend, the feckless, charming New Zealander, Jake Kelly - who’s half in love with all of them, one way or another - the Harrisons send him on a quest that will force a shocking confrontation.

Everyone only wants what’s best for Grace - but who can say exactly what that is?
