Abundant Grace

This is the seventh and final volume in the Grace and Gravity series of anthologies of fiction writing by women in the DC area. The series has now printed over 3,000 pages of stories, novel excerpts, and flash fiction by 300 women. The cover painting is by DC artist Lisa Montag Brotman. Here are the blurbs--Washington, DC is not a place most people associate with delicious literary fiction. But they should, and Peabody's anthologies of fiction by D.C. area women are proof. Big, rich, and frothfully fabulous, Abundant Grace is the perfect title for this latest collection to savor--or devour. -- C. M. Mayo, author of Sky Over El Nido and Miraculous Air. Having spent my life writing and reading in DC, I'm thrilled at this collection of stories by some of Washington's finest writers --- women with strong voices and bold ways with the language. These stories take us both to new places and to our familiars. The unique characters on these pages are so vividly rendered, so full of surprises, we can't help but to devour this book. You'll find every kind of wanting, unexpected joys, difficult questions and graceful answers.-- Anna March, Salon Regular Contributor. Once again, Richard Peabody has gathered together and astounding range of talent from the Washington, D.C. Area. For anyone who believes that dc is not a hotbed of daring, powerful writers, Grace and Gravity again proves them wrong.--Lucinda Ebersole, author of Death in Equality
