How Sweet the Sound: A Memoir - Hardcover

by Doris J. Grace (Author)

The words from the internationally-known hymn Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound perfectly encapsulate the life of author Doris J. Grace-from her love of music, her surname Grace acquired upon marriage, her faith, and being saved by the loving grace of God.

This memoir chronicles Doris' childhood-a carefree era in the midst of the Depression spent roaming the Missouri Ozarks-and the changes that World War II imposed on her simple country family. How Sweet the Sound tells of an earlier life as a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, and later years when she and her husband traveled to six continents and more than seventy countries while leading study tours and mission trips.

Full of life and personality, How Sweet the Sound paints an engaging portrait of a carefree childhood and a fulfilled adulthood. This memoir brings characters to life simply and vividly to tell the story of an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary life.
