      About This Book

      AN EXTRAORDINARY NOVEL ABOUT AN "ORDINARY" FAMILY DIVIDED BY PAIN, YET BOUND BY THEIR STRUGGLE TO HEAL

      The Jarrets are a typical American family. Calvin is a determined, successful provider and Beth an organized, efficient wife. They had two sons, Conrad and Buck, but now they have one. In this memorable, moving novel, Judith Guest takes the reader into their lives to share their misunderstandings, pain...and ultimate healing.

      The highly praised movie version of Ordinary People, directed by Robert Redford, won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1980.
