Most people will never know wealth or fame. While there are people who have dealt with horrible trauma, from abuse to addiction, the majority of the population are from “ordinary” families with “ordinary” circumstances. The Magic of Ordinary is a memoir of growing up with a father who made life magical. The stories are mine, but they’re probably yours, too, because they’re universal experiences of middle-class life. (Ever get a crooked bang-cut? Ever make fun of your siblings? Ride a bicycle around the neighborhood?)
“Melissa Gouty writes the magical story of all our lives in The Magic of Ordinary. If you grew up in the ’60s and ’70s, this is an Our Town for our generation.”
— Teresa Medeiros, New York Times Bestselling Author
