Born in Hell's Kitchen to immigrant parents who did not speak English, Grace Kremza, a smart, studious, faith-filled Catholic woman, assimilates into the hardscrabble life of this poor neighborhood, excels in school, aspires to go to college-only to have her dreams derailed by an unplanned pregnancy. She marries her high school sweetheart, and the family struggles financially. Its economics is stabilized when Grace gets a part-time job at a rising trucking company, UPS.
