A New York Times bestseller, and winner of the 2014 Edgar award for best novel and the 2014 Dilys award, author William Kent Krueger’s novel, “Ordinary Grace”, a mystery novel, is the book chosen for the month of December, by Spalding Public Library’s Book Club members.
New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson’s Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.
Told from Frank’s perspective forty years after that fateful summer, “Ordinary Grace” 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. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God. (from the publisher)
The author has given readers much to think about in this novel. How would we face the tragic loss of a loved one at the hands of another? Could we exercise forgiveness? Would we seek revenge?

A warm and funny story entitled, “Beasties” is written by Pat Hall and illustrated by Pat’s daughter Emmeline Hall Forrestal. Hall and Forrestal are also the author and illustrator of the award-winning “Ida May’s Borrowed Trouble,” a picture book also available for check out at the library.
“Beasties” is the story of a child who learns to handle the scary “beasties” in the closet and under the bed by making them count things. The core message of the book is that by extending a kindness one often finds that “a beastie might turn out to be a friend you haven’t met.” Included in the book is a recipe for Beastly-Good Cookies. This playful story will win the hearts of all—human and beastie!!

“One Book One Nebraska: Death Zones & Darling Spies” is Spalding Library’s book club’s choice for the month of November.
In this book, Beverly Deepe Keever describes what it was like for a farm girl from Nebraska to find herself halfway around the world as a war correspondent in Vietnam, trying to make sense of one of the nation’s bloodiest and bitterest wars. She arrived in Saigon in 1961 as Vietnam’s war entered a new phase and American helicopter units and provincial advisers were unpacking.
Keever’s trove of tissue-thin memos to editors, along with published and unpublished dispatches for New York and London media, provide the reader with you-are-there descriptions of Buddhist demonstrations and turning-point coups as well as phony ones. Two Vietnamese interpreters, self-described as “darling spies,” helped her decode Vietnam’s shadow world and subterranean war.
