Grace, Fully Living

It's Christmas Eve and thirty-something Grace Tyler just can't find what she's looking for... on the store shelves this close to closing time, or in the men in her life. And while it seems like all those close to her have people in their lives to hang stockings with and successes to celebrate tonight, she's planning to spend her Noel alone. After all, isn't “alone” just an anagram for “A Noel”? At least it gives her plenty to time to look back over the year. And what a year it has been... misadventures on the ski slopes, the suave, talented yet creepy and threatening photographer, the art gallery parties and the male stripper the gallery's owner tried to fix her up with. Trips home to see her school BFF's new business venture , admire her Dad's growing internet savvy-ness and try to un-hear her mother's unwavering criticisms. All that and the driver who couldn't get over himself, the boss called “Horrors”, the apple of her mother's eye, namely her daytrading brother Roger and who can forget that unwanted surprise in her toilet one day? Certainly not Grace! And of course, there was Doug... enigmatic Doug, the mysterious northerner she never quite could get out of her mind...nor into her arms. How come her beloved Monica and Chandler didn't have to go through all this?

In the tradition of Bridget Jones Diary and The Holiday, it's the story of finding love and finding yourself in the modern world.

Life for the modern single lady isn't always graceful... but with our heroine, it is Grace...fully living!
