The story is about Kyle McCray who comes back to his hometown of Potsdam after his father suffers a stroke. By coming home, Kyle has to confront the trauma from his past, to try to make amends with his ex-wife, Casey, and his father. Kyle is trying to find a way to move ahead with his life.
What I like about the book are the characters. You get to know each character intimately, and you root for each of them. I especially like Wyatt. He is Casey's brother who is a paraplegic, but you wouldn't know it because he lives a full life.
The story touches on the themes of grief and forgiveness, but I especially liked the theme of community in the book. The town is a hockey town, and the hockey people come together to help Kyle and Casey. This is my kind of book. Thank you, Ms Lange.
