A coming-of-age novel and so much more, both simple and deep as the Minnesota River, and the railroad tracks and country roads that flow about the action. Grace and miracles might seem hidden or inconsequential, or may resonate through the…

Very disappointing after reading reviews. Too much negativity, kept wanting just one good thing to happen, like gay young man goes off to school and finds himself instead of running into a tree. Found sex with old man a bit unbelievable.…

The comparisons to "To Kill A Mocking bird are a bit of a stretch in my opinion but It was a good read. As many others I felt "This Tender Land" was a better book.

This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I love the way the author developed the characters, and his writing style was so poignant. Stylistically like To Kill a Mockingbird. You'll be thinking about the story long after…

I just finished "The Tender Land" (amazing story/best book in awhile) so I wanted to read another one of his books. "Ordinary Grace" was good, a little slow at times, but the author has an amazing way of writing that keeps me interested.

I enjoy Krueger’s style. His
This Tender Land was excellent. Ordinary Grace was good, but got bogged down in parts. Krueger has a strong interest in the treatment of the Souix from the Minnesota territories. I was thankful for his insight…
