Beartown is by Fredrik Backman. The first in the realistic fiction Beartown duology. Beartown is a small town in the middle of the forest; a community that is slowing dying as its residents have to leave to find jobs. The only hope they have of saving their town is their junior ice hockey team. As the team prepares to complete in the national semifinals, everyone in Beartown is depending on the Bears for the future of the town. The team centers around Kevin, a talent the team's general manager, Peter, is depending on to secure a victory for the team. One night, and one horrible series of decisions, could bring the team and the town to its knees. A magnificent look at what people will do when driven to protect the people, town, and sport they love. A fantastic novel!!
