Bear Town By Fredrick Backman

Beartown is a novel by Swedish author Fredrik Backman. It's about a small town's declining youth hockey team that's about to compete in the national semifinals. The book explores themes of abuse and how a town divides between who to believe. Some say the book is darker than Backman's other novels and is a good choice for a book group. Others say the book is about what happens to people in a community, the good and the bad, the heroic and the shameful.
