Ordinary People | What Do I Read Next?

Second Heaven, Judith Guest's second novel, was published in 1982 and deals with some of the same themes as Ordinary People. At the heart of the book is a troubled teenager who is struggling to escape his abusive father with the help of his lawyer and a recently divorced woman who takes him in.

Errands, Judith Guest's 1997 novel, continues her themes of suburbanites struggling to connect and heal in a story dealing with the death of a father and husband.
