Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

 Famous for the Cork O’Connor mystery series, the author brings us something different in Ordinary Grace.

We see this story through the eyes of Frank, a 12-year-old boy and a number of tragic deaths during the summer in 1961. It's both a coming-of-age tale, but looks at faith, death, loss, and hope.

The story is rich and heartwarming and touches on so many themes so subtly that it draws you deep within the story. Highly recommended.
