Grace Monroe arrived in town with her grandfather in 1999, looking for Ben Davidson (not knowing that he was her brother). Her grandfather worked for the mob, and Ben was a doctor for a rival mob, and Grace's father had died while Ben was treating him. Because of this, Grace's grandfather wanted to kill Ben. They got pretty close, Ben was shot, but he didn't die. When Grace found out that she was taken away by the mob as a child and Ben and Sam were really her brothers, she decided to stay in Llanview with her family. She was raised with the name Monroe, but her real last name was Davidson, so she changed it back to Davidson. Her brother Sam changed his name a long time ago to Rappaport, because he didn't want anything to do with the mob.
As soon as she arrived in town, Kevin Buchanan became interested in her and they dated for a while. Then Rae Cummings arrived in town. Grace was having an affair with Rea's husband, and Rae found out and hated Grace because of it. Rae wanted to break up Grace's and Kevin's relationship. It worked for a while. When Kevin found out he was mad. But it didn't work for long, and before you knew it, Grace and Kevin were back together. Rae, kept trying to break Kevin and Grace up, but it didn't work so she stopped. Grace and Kevin got real close, and then Kevin asked Grace to marry him. She accepted, and they were to be married. But the she was killed in a freak accident involving Graces only two enemies, Asa Buchanan and Rea. Right before Grace died Rea and Grace forgave eachother.
