*Book Fair RAK* Songs in Ordinary Time by Mary McGarry Morris


It's the summer of 1960 in Atkinson, Vermont. Marie Fermoyle is a strong but vulnerable divorced woman whose loneliness and ambition for her children make her easy prey for dangerous con man Omar Duvall. Marie's children are Alice, seventeen-involed with a young priest; Norm, sixteen-hotheaded and idealistic; and Benjy, twelve-isolated and misunderstood and so desperate for his mother's happiness that he hides the deadly truth he knows about Duvall.
