Ordinary Grace, a novel by William Kent Krueger. Prologue All the Dying That summer began with the death of a child, a boy with golden hair and thick glasses killed on the railroad tracks outside New Berman, Minnesota, sliced into pieces by 1000 tons of steel, speeding across the prairie towards South Dakota. His name was Bobby Cole. He was a sweet looking kid, and by that I mean he had eyes that seemed full of dreaming, and he wore 1/2 smile, as if he was just about to understand something you'd spent an hour trying to explain. I should have known him better than a better friend. He lived not far from my house, and we were the same age. But he was two years behind me in school and might have been held back even more, except for the kindness of certain teachers.
