About the Book Ordinary People
Ordinary People by Judith Guest delves into the lives of the Jarrett family, who are struggling with the aftermath of two traumatic events. Set in suburban Chicago, the story focuses on Conrad Jarrett, a teenager struggling with survivor’s guilt following the death of his older brother, Buck, in a boating accident. Conrad’s subsequent suicide attempt and his journey through recovery form the core of the narrative.
The novel explores the strained relationships within the Jarrett family, particularly between Conrad and his emotionally distant mother, Beth, and his well-meaning but overwhelmed father, Calvin. As Conrad begins therapy with Dr. Berger, he slowly starts to confront his feelings of guilt and grief. The story highlights themes of mental health, family dynamics, and the process of healing, offering a look at how individuals cope with loss and trauma.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
