A tiny community nestled deep in the forest, it is slowly losing ground to the ever encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better than today. Their junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national semi-finals, and they actually have a shot at winning. All the dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeing responsible for the hopes of an entire town is a heavy burden, and the semi-final match is the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFredrik Backman is the #1 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e bestselling author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Man Called Ove \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBritt-Marie Was Here\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e His books are published in more than forty countries.
