Review
"In Ordinary Magic, Ruth Porter convincingly captures (as she did in her wonderful novel, The Simple Life, also set in Severance) the human drama of life in rural Vermont. Through two branches of one farming family, she explores in a gripping way the universal theme of confronting choices and understanding their consequences." -- Ann McKinstry Micou "author of Fiction Set in Vermont 3"
"With her straightforward, no-nonsense prose, Ruth Porter has staked a claim on our American literary soil, evoking rural Vermont with the skill of the region's finest craftsmen. Every word rings true." -- James Wilcox "author of Modern Baptists"
"Ordinary Magic is simply wonderful. From start to finish, it's a
real page turner with the unusual characteristic that the gripping
events in its fascinating pages are from everyday life and the
characters belong to ordinary, multi-generational families. It
showed me that we ordinary people are vastly more interesting than
we thought we were."
E -- Elizabeth Marshall Thoma "author of The Old Way and The Hidden Life Of Dogs"
"Ordinary Magic opens with two unmagical events. Cal has been shot in the foot, and Nora is returning home to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Ruth Porter moves ahead, working mostly with these two characters and their situations, but spreading out like ripples from dropped stones in water to include families and friends." -- Roger Sale "author of Seattle Past to Present and Fairy Tales and After"
"In Ordinary Magic Ruth Porter's love of country living is apparent in the lovingly detailed descriptions of daily life. And it's about hope. With the drumbeat of bad news all around us, it was a pleasure to read about REAL family values and the "magic" of everyday life if only we'll take time to notice." -- Diane Brown "former books editor, AARP, The Magazine"
