On Halloween 1992, during a huge party at his fraternity, Justy Sloan literally stumbles into Grace Van Orden, meeting the girl of his dreams.
Unfortunately for him, Grace, a junior in computer science, has a handsome study buddy and best friend named Erik, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. Add to the equation Justy’s dark past with Grace’s roommate, Kat, plus the fact he’s about to graduate, and his dream girl feels completely out of reach.
Ditching his usual caution when it comes to love, Justy pursues Grace, setting off a series of events that will alter the futures of everyone involved.
Justice is a romance about twenty-somethings stumbling their way through the highs and lows of first loves, an ode to Chicago, a tribute to Gen X, and a celebration of the 1990s, one of the best decades for coming of age.

Thirty years ago, Justice Sloan abandoned Grace Watson, pregnant and in a time of need. After a lifetime apart, Justice re-enters Grace’s life, determined to meet his son Tyler. While her young adult children launch their own lives and her parents grow old, Grace discovers that love writes truth with crooked lines, and only the refiner’s fire can bring broken hearts to union.
Grace is an intergenerational story about a family as they navigate Chicago in the 2020s with all its ups and downs—from betrayal and redemption to birth and death—and discover in the end, the only thing that matters is love.
“On family trials and redemptive love, Sallak Anderson delivers characters who will live rent-free in your head.”
