just finished reading

I liked how the author creates real characters-both young and old-within the town. That no one is all hero or all villain, that prejudice is multi-faceted and that there are quiet heroes among us. It's a thought-provoking, emotional novel. It's about family of blood and choice, it's about loyalty, it's about friendship, and all the positives and negatives these complex parts of our lives have.

I think it helps that I enjoy hockey, so I understood the passion the community has for the sport. It's not just a sport! It's a character in the novel.

The author is quite a story teller.

From the publisher:



  1. Sounds like a good one! I like the hockey premise.

  2. I'm not a hockey fan, but I loved this book!
