“The Seasons of Grace” thoroughly peels back the curtain with this biographical fictional story based on the life of Metalious and her desire to tell stories that no one dared to tell before that time. Her life, like her writings, was a whirlwind that created havoc and controversy with every strike of the typewriter key, with “Peyton Place” hitting on thought-inducing and previously unspeakable subjects like rape, murder, incest, abortion, homosexuality, promiscuity, and adultery, all which Dodge weaves into a gripping story which delves deeply throughout his book.

“Grace Metalious was a female writer who grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire and her novels were unprecedented for someone with her background during that period in American literature history,” said Dodge. “I wrote ‘The Seasons of Grace’ to bring deserved recognition to this legendary writer who changed the game for all female writers during her era.”
