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.
