A five-book story of present-day faith, family, love, loss, and the courage to begin again.
Begin With Book One
A current-day story where one crisis changes every chapter that follows.
Saving Grace opens with twin sisters, Kaelynn and Jaelynn, who believe a modeling opportunity in Paris could give them the fresh start their difficult childhood never did. Instead, one sister is pulled into a criminal world and disappears. The promise of independence becomes a desperate search, and the danger at the heart of that search sets the whole series in motion.
For readers looking for contemporary Christian fiction books, the Saving Grace series brings its characters into the pressures of a modern life. They are not protected from hard choices by an easy answer or a perfect plan. They have to decide whom to trust, how to face fear, how to love well when they are hurt, and what it means to keep believing when life becomes more complicated than they expected.
The opening has urgency, but it is only the beginning. Kym Forrest follows Grace into the years after the first danger, when relationships, illness, parenting, work, grief, and old wounds ask their own difficult questions. Faith is not a separate part of the story. It is present in the choices the characters make when forgiveness costs something and hope feels more like a decision than a feeling.

Stories For The Present Day
Real pressure, lasting relationships, and faith that has to live in the everyday.
Contemporary Christian fiction can make room for the questions people carry into ordinary life: How do you stay close to someone when fear has changed the relationship? How do you care for a family when illness rearranges every expectation? What happens when a loss does not leave a neat ending behind? The Saving Grace books stay with those questions instead of moving quickly past them.
Grace's story grows through seasons that feel recognizably human. A marriage asks more of both people than romance alone. Children change the pace and weight of every decision. Family history does not disappear just because someone wants a new beginning. The characters face misunderstandings, distance, grief, and the work of telling the truth when it would be easier to stay quiet.
That does not make the series heavy without hope. The books are built around people who continue to reach for one another. Prayer, grace, forgiveness, and love matter because they shape what the characters do next. Readers who want faith-centered fiction with emotional momentum will find a series willing to sit with hardship while still believing a changed life can hold joy.
The Series In Order
One life, told through the seasons that reshape it.
The Saving Grace books are meant to be read in sequence. Every title carries Grace and the people closest to her into a new chapter, while the choices and losses of the earlier books continue to matter. What begins with a search for a missing sister becomes a larger story of recovery, commitment, family, grief, and the strength to keep making a life.
Reading in order lets the relationships deepen naturally. A promise made in one season has consequences in the next. A hard-won trust can be tested by a different kind of fear. Each book has its own conflict, but the series gives readers the fuller reward of seeing the characters grow older, face new responsibilities, and discover what grace asks of them now.

Reader Fit
For readers who want a story to stay after the first turning point.
The series is a strong fit for readers who enjoy Christian fiction grounded in close relationships and high emotional stakes. The first book carries a dangerous mystery, while the later novels follow the more personal pressures that can be just as difficult to face: marriage under strain, illness, the demands of family life, grief, and the effort it takes to rebuild trust.
Saving Grace does not present faith as a way to avoid pain. The characters pray, question, forgive, make mistakes, and begin again. Their beliefs are woven into the way they respond to one another, especially when no easy solution is available. That leaves room for hope that feels lived rather than borrowed.
Readers who enjoy direct storytelling, family-centered drama, romantic tension, and stories of healing will find those threads throughout the series. Readers looking for a quiet, low-conflict novel may prefer a different pace. This is a story for readers who want the relationships to matter as much as the events that test them.
What You'll Find
Four reasons the story keeps moving forward.
A modern story with a dangerous beginning
The series starts with a missing sister and a search that carries real risk. That threat gives the first book a clear forward pull, while the consequences of what happens continue to shape the people involved long after the immediate danger changes.
Family life after the crisis
Love, marriage, parenthood, friendship, illness, and grief are not side notes. They become the ground where the characters have to practice patience, honesty, forgiveness, and the difficult choice to remain present for one another.
Faith with room for struggle
Prayer and grace are part of the characters' lives, but they do not erase uncertainty. The books let fear, disappointment, and unanswered questions have their place while returning to the possibility that people can keep choosing courage and compassion.
A connected journey across five books
Each title brings a new challenge, while the earlier story remains part of the characters' history. Readers can begin with a suspenseful search and stay for a longer journey through the years that make Grace's life, relationships, and faith more fully her own.
“From a sister's desperate search to the complicated realities of marriage, family, faith, and forgiveness, Kym Forrest's Saving Grace series is ultimately a story about how people keep choosing hope when life gives them every reason not to.”Melissa Harper, Independent Book Reviewer & Fiction Critic
What to expect before you begin.
The early chapters bring the series' sharpest suspense: a missing person, an unfamiliar criminal world, and the fear that time may be running out. Later books continue with new conflicts, but they also give more space to the choices that determine whether a family can heal, a marriage can endure, and a person can make room for a future after the past has changed everything.
The tone is emotionally immediate and the circumstances are often intense. These are not stories about perfect people finding simple answers. They are stories about people who have been wounded, loved poorly, loved well, and had to decide what kind of life they will build next. That makes the series a rewarding choice for readers who want contemporary Christian fiction with both movement and heart.
