Fallen Grace by Sadeqa Johnson

Fallen Grace by Sadeqa Johnson packs a lot in a few pages in this engaging short story. I immediately felt immersed in the characters' lives enough to care what happened to them. Fallen Grace follows two young girls who escape from a home where young girls are sent to have babies and try to figure out how to take care of a baby while finding their way in a segregated community. Johnson demonstrates the hypocrisy of judging others when grace could be given by highlighting the mistakes and betrayals that prove people are fallible and also worthy. Fallen Grace explores family, friendship, religion, social standing, and empowerment with honesty, realism, and grace.
