NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2014 EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST
NOVEL WINNER OF THE 2014 DILYS AWARD A SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST
BOOK OF 2013 From New York Times bestselling author William Kent
Krueger, a brilliant new novel about a young man, a small town, and
murder in the summer of 1961. "That was it. That was all of it. A
grace so ordinary there was no reason at all to remember it. Yet I
have never across the forty years since it was spoken forgotten a
single word." 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 it was a grim summer in which
death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature.
Suicide. Murder. Frank begins the season preoccupied with the
concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes
his family-which includes his Methodist minister father; his
passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and
wise-beyond-his-years kid brother-he finds himself thrust into an
adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly
called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his
years. Told from Frank's perspective forty years after that fateful
summer, 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.
