A strong sequel and seamless continuation of the story with new perspectives and POVs. Following the everyday lives of a myriad of characters in a small town where hockey serves as both a division and a unifier. The author details how violence, bigotry, assault, etc. affect a town on an individual and community level. Exceptional and heartbreaking with memorable and thought provoking quotes summarizing societal norms and behaviors, some disappointing, some hopeful.
