Book two of the series and another great read. Del and Barbara are no longer together ~ both suffering from the misconception that the other no longer loves them & is bored and feeling trapped. The kids do not respond well to the separation and their son is bouncing from one misdemeanor to other. However, things start to get serious when he disappears all night and refuses to tell them where he has been. A dead girl is found in a cemetery, along with proof that he was there. The tension builds with attacks, break~ins and even sexual threats against their 13 year old daughters. Barbara & Del need to work together to keep their family out of danger whilst Barbara still feels resentful of Del leaving her and he still worries that she prefers his brother to him. This was another great read. The tension builds quickly, the story line moves along nicely and the characters are well developed. I read the book really quickly and bought the next one in the series as soon as I finished this one!

His Ordinary LIfe
20 Nov 2007
By M. Nix

Format:Kindle Edition
Del and Barbara Calvert are separated and going through a divorce.
Having to get married young, they spent their formative years trying
to make ends meet and raise their family. Del has always thought that
he ruined Barbara's life and that he never would measure up to her
expectations. Barbara has spent her entire married life doing what
others expect and allowing Del to make decisions she should have had a
part in. It takes the antics of their son and the subsequent danger
he is placed in to bring Del and Barbara back together. Will it be
enough?
First off I have to admit that I owe Del Calvert an apology. Having
been divorced myself, I was prepared to hate him. I wanted to hate
him. He LEFT his family. Then I began to read more of the book and
found out that his leaving was what he wholeheartedly thought was the
best thing he could do for the family he loved unconditionally.
That's when my impression of him began to change. I saw not a tough
and rugged man who left his family but a lonely eighteen-year-old boy
who thought he had ruined the life of the woman he loved more than
anything else in the world. When I realized that, I fell in love with
him.
What a wonderful book His Ordinary Life was. Anything but ordinary,
Linda Winfree has penned an uncommonly realistic portrayal of a family
torn apart by the possibility of divorce and separation. I ached for
Del and Barbara and could see that they loved each other. Screaming at
them more than once while reading, I was torn between wanting to thump
them on the heads and grabbing them up and hugging them so tightly
that they couldn't breathe.
If His Ordinary Life is any indication of Linda Winfree's writing
ability, then I foresee great things in her future. This was truly a
heartwarming and wonderful book.
