When a town's entire culture is based on hockey, and something threatens to destroy that, how does the town react? Painful to read at so many moments, but kindness comes from unexpected places and maybe everything will all work out in the end. Beartown hits hard emotionally and isn't the best Backman story to start with,but is so worth it in the end. (Read trigger warnings before starting)
