Told from Frank's perspective forty years after that fateful summer, it 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. He currently makes his living as a full-time author. At heart, it's the story of what that tragedy does to a boy, his family, and ultimately the fabric of the small town in which he lives. On the surface, 'Ordinary Grace' is the story of the murder of a beautiful young woman, a beloved daughter and sister. When tragedy unexpectedly comes to call on his family, which includes his Methodist minister father, his passionate, artistic mother, Juilliard-bound older sister, and wise-beyond-his years kid brother, Frank finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a summer in which death assumed many forms. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president.
