![]() ![]() For boys-maybe it’s the same for girls, I don’t know-that period in our lives is an important threshold. How personal to you are the memories of 1961 in small town Minnesota?Ī: One of the main motivations for writing Ordinary Grace was the opportunity to explore memories, emotions, and experiences out of my own life when I was, essentially, the age of the story’s narrator, thirteen-year-old Frank Drum.

Under the guise of offering spiritual guidance, Toohey convinces his followers to give up the things most important in their lives - their values. Toohey deceives his victims by posturing as a humanitarian, but the code he preaches - that of self-sacrifice - is utterly destructive.

This author is very good in making you feel you are there. ![]() Then when she ran away I still thought he would catch her, yes it is a good thing to not know the real ending cause it was fun to think up all those ways her story could end. Like I thought she would fall in love with the Shawnee chief because there was some attraction between them. There were a lot of scenarios in my mind thanks to the great writing. Yes it is cruel but so were the days back then and by the way read some true crime and you know people are still as cruel probably more so now. So to me this book could have had many different scenarios and outcomes and I think that was why it was such a great read for me. Never heard of this author before.įirst of all I did not know what this book was about so did not know it was based on a true story. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, while the twin Cynfell brothers might be as devastating in looks as each other, only one intrigues her-the brooding Lord Ash Cynfell.
