Us Against You: A Novel

In the heart of an isolated forest lies Beartown, a small yet fiercely proud community that is as resilient as the people who inhabit it.

Within the confines of this close-knit town, the stakes are high and emotions run deep, as the spirit of the game transcends sport to become a way of life.

As the narrative unfolds, tensions rise in Beartown. The team faces not only external challenges but also internal divisions that threaten to tear the community apart.
