Grace Newton works as a commercial real estate broker. She connected with Angela & her husband when they bought an industrial building last year. Over a couple wine nights, Grace and Angela discovered their shared passion for books. Her love of stories started as a kid and now she enjoys reading historical fiction and non-fiction, thrillers, and novels that can leave a lasting impact! Her favorite place to read is on the front porch, sipping a tea with her dogs cuddled up. Favorite book: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah Favorite memory of connecting with someone via a book: doing a book podcast might be my new favorite memory! I love how discussing and sharing books with family and friends can connect across generations and interests.
