| Summary: | International chef Jake Hardy has it all. Celebrity, thriving career, plenty of friends, a happy family and faithful dog. Until one day when a tragic accident tears it all apart. Struggling to recover, Hardy finds himself in a strange new world, a snow-swept prairie town that time forgot, a place where nothing makes sense. Cold is beautiful. Simple is complex. And doubts begin to surface about whether Jake's tragedy was truly an accident after all. As the sun sets in the Land of Living Skies, Hardy and his glamorous, seventy-eight-year-old transgender neighbor find themselves ensnared in multiple murders separated by decades. In Bidulka's "love letter to life on the prairies," he delivers a story of grief and loss that manages to burst with joy, tenderness and hope. Redolent of his earlier works, Going to Beautiful brings us unexpected, underrepresented characters in settings that immediately feel familiar and beloved. Beautiful, a place where what you need may not be what you were looking for. |
