Grace McCleenová sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na skúmanie zložitých vzťahov a vnútorných svetov svojich postáv. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje poetickým jazykom a prenikavým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky. Prostredníctvom svojich príbehov často prepláva témami viery, identity a hľadania zmyslu v živote. McCleenová dokáže majstrovsky zachytiť jemné nuansy ľudských emócií a vytvoriť nezabudnuteľné literárne zážitky.
