The loss in 26-year-old Tyler Manion’s life has become overwhelming. The sudden death of his wife six months ago shattered his world. Tomorrow will be his last day at work, terminated from his corporate role at General Motors. Raising his not-quite-two-year-old son alone, he puts up a brave front, pretending to still have it all together.

But Tyler has trouble focusing, and his spiritual attention deficit disorder is keeping him from any meaningful connection with the one who could help him most in his hour of need. A high school girl basketball phenom, a gruff World War II veteran, a hippie nun and a beguilingly brainy graduate student will each help him rediscover his sense of identity, and perhaps find his spiritual bearings.

The novel opens in Michigan in 1990, a time of turmoil and of hopefulness. Often irreverent, Scraps of Grace resides in the conflicted present moment but abides in the eternal. 2025 Catholic Novel of the Year - Honorable Mention, Catholic Media Association
