Set in San Francisco in the 1970s, Grip is the true story of how an eighteen-year-old fends off a stalker with just her wits. She goes on to become the toughest female martial artist in her karate school, an early advocate for women’s rights, and a residential counselor for troubled teenage boys.
For her, the best way to make her world safe is to seek out threats and face them head-on. Even in personal relationships, this five-foot fighter is drawn to men with volatile tempers, men like her father.
But her strategy of confronting danger doesn’t free her from her past — it creates a wake of greater destruction. Only by marshalling the strength to be vulnerable can she discover intimacy and love.
