Description
An Ordinary Tragedy is one woman's quest for redemption as she unlocks the mystery behind her brother's life of escalating crime and depravity.
For nearly three decades - from the middle 1950s to early 1980s - one outwardly perfect All-American Family struggled to keep their eldest boy out of trouble. From the intimate perspective of eldest child, Lori Hart Beninger explores the dynamics of that family and the secrets they kept.
Tapping into a lifetime of memories, an abiding interest in child psychology, and generous input from family members and close friends, Ms. Beninger offers a personal look at her ordinary family's despair, ultimately finding the love she thought she'd lost for her younger sibling.
