He plays for the El Paso Storm in the West Texas Hockey League. People call him Oak. He's been an enforcer for longer than his hip or shoulder or back have been able to hold together. He is a broken machine of gristle and rage. And he has been away from home for too long. He's called back to Boston by his mother's death. There he confronts a life he failed to live, a daughter he doesn't know, and a body that is quickly breaking down. Still, he can't conceive of a future without hockey, even as he chews oxycodone and Adderall to numb his injuries and steady his brain. When a brutal encounter with the police places him in the path of Joan Linney, a haunted public defender, and Kip, a boy with a brave face, Oak and his chance companions roam cold streets from Castle Island to Quincy Point, struggling to believe in a different future."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hockey players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Opioid abuse $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sports injuries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Assault and battery $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women lawyers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210602012706.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201209010023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C107F2C39EC11EB8EAB5C7E33ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
