GRACE NAKIMURA (Charity James)
Grace was on a PhD track at Yale when she decided to take a break for the summer. She chose New Orleans, perhaps because it was exotic compared to her native New York, perhaps because it was far away from her mother. It was a fateful decision. She answered an advertisement for help in a book store -- that was how she came to work for Mr. Knight. For any number of reasons she's been bound to him ever since. Bound, inexorably, like light and darkness themselves.
