Ordinary Grace : A Novel by William Kent Krueger 2013 Paperback

Description: I loved this book. It is both a mystery, and a close look at relationships with-in and between families that live in a small conservative town in the early 60's. It is a character study of "ordinary" people showing non-heroic grace in the face of life's suffering and tragedy. They do so without intention, but you are left with the impression perhaps this type of grace is guided by a loving force that dwells deeply in each of us. From the Back:New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson's Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum, a preacher's son, it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms: Accident, Nature, Suicide, Murder.Told from Frank's perspective forty years later, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God.
