“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
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 男孩小小的身躯被火车碾了过去。1961年的夏天，就这么开始了。
对于十三岁的弗兰克来说，这个本该美好的夏天却被阴影笼罩。弗兰克和弟弟杰克继续着铁轨上的冒险，全然不知他们正在走向那个夏天的下一个死亡。
铁轨旁的河里浮着一抹红色，那是姐姐摇曳的红裙——是意外失足，还是早有预谋？平和小镇的秘密慢慢显露，原本普通的家庭被一个个悲剧击垮。两个少年站在青春期的门口，被迫走进一个充满黑暗、谎言和背叛的世界。他们唯一拥有的力量，就是超越年龄的勇气。
门外的铁轨如同一条钢铁铸成的河。一直在原地，又一直向前运动着。(DB)
