Grace Chang Driver

Grace Chang Driver is the wife of Achilles Driver. She is the first-generation American child of Joey Chang and his wife, Chinese immigrants. Her parents forbade her to marry a black man and she defied their wishes. A daughter defying her father on matters of marriage is a huge breach of traditional Confucian morality, and Grace's father was unable to forgive her. He had very little contact with Grace or her children from the time of her marriage on.

Grace has two children. Karen Driver is the elder of the two.
