Janey has a problem and she's certain it's not PMS or some hormonal issue like her husband believes. Every month she suffers mood swings, strange cravings, and heightened senses of hearing and smell. Janey has tried everything her doctor has prescribed and every herbal remedy on the web. The only thing to which she can link her problems with any certainty is the full moon. She takes a trip to the town where her parents died--Janey was orphaned as an infant--in the hope of finding clues to her condition in her parent's medical records. What she finds are dead ends and uncooperative people until a kindly, old man takes an interest and begins to fill in the details. Janey learns truths more bizarre than she could have imagined, and her journey of self-discovery becomes one of revenge."Ordinary Folk" is well-written and evenly paced. Janey's story draws you in and holds your interest. If you're looking for a well-crafted, sympathetic werewolf story, "Ordinary Folk" is the book for you.
