The opening pages
Simon's grandmother went to a meeting every Tuesday for eleven years, and for most of that time he had no idea what it was about. She called it "the committee". She walked to the church hall at nine, she came back at four, and she was usually tired and occasionally annoyed. He assumed it was church business of the kind adults do.

Think about it
- Why can a word that means 'gift' still be the wrong word for grace?
- The young man says every option is 'wrong in a different direction'. Explain what he means.
- The committee chose a word and then added a phrase. Why was that better than finding a perfect word?
