All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.\n\nUnder that heavy burden, the match becomes 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.\n\nThis is a story about a town and a game, but even more about loyalty, commitment, and the responsibilities of friendship; the people we disappoint even though we love them; and the decisions we make every day that come to define us. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 150116077X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.150116077X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Backman, Fredrik\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
