Falling for Grace

★★★★★

Grace Tang is an ambitious, hardworking, young woman determined to work her way up the ladder of life and out of working-class Chinatown. She seems to have done exactly that with an Associate position at a top notch Wall Street investment bank. But more than anything, Grace yearns to be part of the Upper East Side socialite world.

When Grace finally receives that elusive invitation to the Opera's prestigious Junior Committee Meet & Greet, she is prepared to shine. What she isn't prepared for is being mistaken as "the Grace Tang" of the "Shanghai Tangs", an heiress from a fashionable Hong Kong family. But before Grace can correct the situation, she is introduced to Andrew Barrington, Jr., one of the most eligible bachelors of New York City and they become smitten with one another.

What follows is a whirlwind ride of romance and white lies, where we are offered a glance into the greed and pressures of Wall Street and the human side of Chinatown - two worlds which unknowingly interconnect and affect one another. When Grace and Andrew's worlds finally collide, through humor, romance, heartbreak and forgiveness, Grace ultimately learns to accept herself for whom she is.
