About this ebook
Ordinary Grace: A Novel by William Kent Krueger | Conversation Starters
When Frank Drum’s family moves to New Bremen, they have no idea what heartbreak lies in the future for them. In the summer of 1961, the town sees five deaths, one of them being a member of the Drum family, Frank’s sister. The different ways the family members and community deals with the deaths brings forth the issues and concerns of the times vividly. The book raises questions about racism, war, mental illness, forgiveness, and faith. One question that many believers struggle with is why God lets bad things happen to good people. Ordinary Grace is the journey of that question, and some people might find some answers.
