Happy Bookers Discussion: Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger New - two meetings! Wednesday June 24 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. In 1961 New Bremen, Minnesota, all is quiet and serene.

In this powerful novel from the author of the Cork O’Connor mysteries, a boy must leave his childhood behind and confront the dark nature of the adult world and its myriad moral questions.
