April 19, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
A brilliant new novel about a young man in the small town of New Bremen, Minnesota, and a murder in the summer of 1961. During a time of innocence and hope, for thirteen-year old Frank Drum, it was a grim summer. Frank begins the summer as any typical teenager, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his family, which includes his Methodist minister father, his passionate artist mother, Julliard-bound older sister and a wise beyond his years kid brother, he finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal. Told from his perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a 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’s an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom.
