Grace After Midnight

Critical Praise

"The reader will come away with respect for the strength and determination that kept Snoop alive against all odds, and might even marvel at the grace that pulled her safely from the streets."

"Grace After Midnight" is a compelling read. It's first person narrative puts you in the street, jail cell, and locked closet with its main character. It's interesting that the single jolting jump from the narrator's point of view to an almost out-of-body third person narration occurs during Snoop's most dramatic and fate-sealing scene. We readers can watch Snoop in episodes of "The Wire," and wonder just how far she's stretching to play her role. We'll be pulling for her, hoping she continues to find strength in that grace."

"This isn't a light celebrity bio, but a powerful story of someone trying to find her way in a dark world, realizing she can still choose her life's direction even in tremendously difficult circumstances. Pearson's narrative is spare, even poetic, rendering traumatic moments all the more powerful."
—Publishers Weekly

"She is perhaps the most terrifying villain to ever appear in a television series."
—Stephen King

—The New York Times

"The most ineffable charcter on TV this year."
— The Los Angeles Times

"A hard-luck tale that never asks for pity."
—Kirkus Reviews
