NEW BOOKS: Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger. Frank begins the summer of 1961 with the concerns of any teenage boy, but tragedy strikes his family. His world becomes full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, and he is called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years. 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.
