Take Friday Night Lights and plop it down on the edge of the wilderness in Sweden. Hockey  moms. A story of a small town response when "boys will be boys." Beautiful, reflective, meditation on a family who has handled tragedy.

This was just an amazing book. It tells the story of how one incident changes an entire community. Puts in the spotlight the way that "star" athletes are treated when it comes to allegations of sexual abuse. Just a heartbreaking, real feeling story of a small town, torn apart by an accusation, no one quite knows how to handle it.

sad, beautiful, tragic all throughout. how did everything that happened manage to devastate me even as it would switch from one side to another. i feel bad for almost every single person in this town. i want better for them.
