Ordinary Grace

 

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I grew up in the era of the setting of this novel. The author did an amazing job of creating the atmosphere of life then. It is quite a contrast to life for children now. We were free to run and roam and ride without fear.
The setting was the summer of 1961 in small town Minnesota. For the Drum family, this was a very difficult and sad summer. The reader lives through it all with them.
The story was well-written and created an atmosphere that lingers long after you finish reading. Because it is sad, I give it only 3 1//2 stars.
