| Summary |
"A year after forest fires sweep through the town of Crow Valley and claim the life of Dale Jepson--karaoke legend, local prison guard, and "all-around good guy"--the community holds a karaoke competition. But when a convicted arsonist escapes from nearby Crow Valley Correctional, the residents learn there's more on the line than a trip to the National Karaoke Championships. Marriages are at stake, jobs are jeopardized, sobrieties threatened, and second chances start to slip away as the community is forced, once again through misfortune, to rally together to save themselves and one another. Told from alternating POVs, each with an intimate connection to the deceased Dale, The Crow Valley Karaoke Championships is a story about the fires we all fight in life--from the smoldering embers to the blazing infernos--and how, ultimately, there is dignity in the struggle to keep singing, to keep fighting, to keep going, to keep living no matter how high the flames get"-- Provided by publisher. |
