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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold from Frank's perspective forty years after that fateful summer, \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Grace\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833618772173,"sku":"9781451645828","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_8bc5a482-480b-43cb-9455-91ee25af7248.jpg?v=1790889976","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/ordinary-grace-1","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
