Grace
"She'll understand work comes first when she's older and has her own responsibilities. - Blaire about Grace in Book 2, Chapter 7"

Grace, a character in Endless Summer, is Blaire's daughter. They have a very distant relationship because of Blaire's commitment to her work. Grace is terrified of disappointing her mother since Blaire only expects best results and nothing Grace does ever seem good enough for her. In Book 2, Blaire is seen leaving Grace a message where she asks Grace to call her before she gets on a flight. This is likely the ill-fated flight that takes Grace to La Huerta.
