With The Beauty of Ordinary Things, Chessman has fashioned a powerful new story about our yearning for wholeness and the enduring weight of our briefest encounters.
Back from a tour of duty in Vietnam, Benny Finn, eldest son in a large Irish-American family, strives to find his bearings amid the everyday life of 1973 New England. At a Benedictine abbey in rural New Hampshire, Sister Clare, a young novice, confronts the day-to-day realities of a cloistered existence. Linking these two is Isabel Howell, a college student soon to discover that she must chart the course of her own life in a way she could not have imagined.

SUFFIELD ACADEMY HOSTS FUTSAL CAMP DECEMBER THROUGH FEBRUARY.
Suffield, CT. Suffield Academy will host The Suffield Academy Futsal Camp every Sunday from December 1, 2013 through February 9, 2014 (except Sunday, December 29, 2013). Boys and girls ages 8-15 are encouraged to register for the ten-week program. Younger children may be eligible based on skill. Cost is $150 per player or $140 per player with more than one sibling; team discounts are available.
Futsal is the official indoor sport sanctioned by FIFA and is recognized throughout the world for promoting exceptional skill development and decision-making. It is played on a hard surface with boundary lines and a low-bounce ball and is now the fastest-growing indoor sport in the United States and around the world. Futsal demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing. The small, heavier futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball-handling technique. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. The Suffield Academy Futsal Camp will teach the skills of the sport and incorporate the proper fundamentals while having fun. The skills will be taught through technical drills and games.
