Grace is a senior at McAuley College, a small Catholic school in Ipswich, Queensland. Through Grace's eyes, see the last six months of her senior year, a time of great change as she pushes toward her goal of becoming a lawyer.

The novel focuses on Grace's tenuous relationships with her family and friends. Grace's inability to see a future in any romantic relationship is just one hurdle. Enter Noah Hawley, a handsome young engineer, who attempts to step into Grace's inner circle.

Suddenly, a series of violent attacks impact Grace and her friends. A devastating loss leaves Grace trying to find answers, even as she finds herself the victim of a psychotic mind. A Safe Distance holds a mirror up to the lives of teenagers suddenly thrust into the fast-paced adult world, whether they're ready or not.' (Source: Author's website)
