For Eleanor Clarke, the ordinary becomes extraordinary as she looks back on her years growing up, raising a family and becoming an award-winning watercolor artist. Life wasn’t always easy and was sometimes marked by sadness and loss, but the occasional bitterness was balanced by many sweet moments with those she loved—from her adored Tante Wiesie to her beloved husband, Mahlon, and their four children. An Ordinary Life is a memoir of a life well lived.
