"Summer of 1935: Charismatic, evangelical Social Credit leader William Aberhart campaigns on a promise of relief for depression-weary farmers, World War II is on the horizon, and 15-year-old Doug Sayers' best friend Babe has just been found hanging in a barn. Everyone including Babe's politically ambitious brother Albert accepts the verdict of suicide but Doug knows there's more to the story. He spends the summer investigating his friend's death, ultimately uncovering the truth about himself and the tragic underbelly of his city neighbourhood."--connimassing.com.
