Synopsis
Wise would be to live where you are and find joy in a single footstep. --From The Ordinary Truth Synopsis of The Ordinary Truth: When Nell Jorgensen buried her husband after a hunting accident in 1975, she buried a piece of herself, her relationship with her daughter, and more than one secret along with him. Now, thirty-six years later, her granddaughter, Cassie, intends to unearth those secrets and repair those relationships, but she’s unprepared for what she finds. Spanning four generations of women in one family, the sparse and beautiful landscape of Nevada’s Spring Valley and Schell Creek Mountains, and the collision of the urban and rural worlds of the West, award-winning author Jana Richman brings us an emotional journey of love, loss, and family in her second novel, The Ordinary Truth. “Richman’s mastery of the emotional geography is illuminating . . . Calls to mind the work of Pat Conroy.” --Kirkus Reviews of The Last Cowgirl
