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 -- involved 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. We also meet Sam Fermoyle, the children's alcoholic father; Sam's brother-in-law, who makes anonymous \"love\" calls from the bathroom of his failing appliance store; and the Klubock family, who -- in contrast to the Fermoyles -- live an orderly life in the house next door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nSONGS IN ORDINARY TIME is a masterful epic of the everyday, illuminating the kaleidoscope of lives that tell the compelling story of this unforgettable family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42955411620056,"sku":"9780140244823","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/SongsInOrdinaryTime.jpg?v=1655010321","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/songs-in-ordinary-time","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
