No. Grace is based on a screenplay written and directed by Paul Solet.

It was because of the car accident they were involved in. One night, Michael rushes Madeline to the hospital because of chest pain. Dr. Sohn arrives at Vivian's request. Just before he administers drugs to induce labor, Patricia arrives. She challenges his diagnosis and determines through blood work (which he has ignored) that inducement is not necessary. Madeline is treated and later released. On the way home from the hospital, a car accident kills both Michael and the unborn baby. Madeline refuses to go to the hospital to have the dead fetus removed. Patricia allows Madeline to carry the dead fetus to term and some weeks later the baby is delivered in Patricia's birthing tub. Although apparently stillborn, Madeline is left alone with the baby and pleads for her to live. Moments later, Patricia returns to reason with Madeline, but suddenly the baby is miraculously alive. Overjoyed, Madeline names the baby Grace.
