Una poderosa celebración de la honestidad, la rabia y la resistencia femeninas que ha conquistado al gran público internacional. Impactante, emotiva y brutalmente honesta, La extraordinaria Grace Adams cuenta a través de un solo día la historia de cómo se nos puede ir la vida de las manos antes que nos demos cuenta... y de cómo siempre hay tiempo para recuperarla. En un caluroso día de verano, parada en un atasco infernal de camino a recoger la tarta de cumpleaños de su hija, Grace Adams llega al límite. No grita. No rompe nada. No llora. Simplemente sale del coche, lo abandona y empieza a andar. Sin embargo, no está huyendo de su vida: está yendo a su encuentro. Va hacia la hija que ya no quiere vivir con ella y que le ha prohibido asistir a su fiesta. Hacia el marido que la ha dejado. Hacia aquello tan terrible que rompió su familia en pedazos... Va a demostrarle al mundo que no importa las veces que se caiga, todavía puede volver a levantarse. Porque Grace Adams solía ser extraordinaria. Y si a todos se les ha olvidado, ella está a punto de recordárselo.
