"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"-- - Baker & Taylor
Told from alternating points of view, this offbeat and heartwarming novel follows five people who find thereâs more on the line than a trip to the National Karaoke Championships when Crow Valley must rally together to save themselves and each other when misfortune strikes again. - McMillan Palgrave
A prison escape, a bear on the loose, botched lyrics. What more could go wrong with Crow Valleyâs most anticipated night of the year?
A year after forest fires ravaged the town of Crow Valley and claimed the life of Dale Jepsonâkaraoke legend, local prison guard, and all-around good guyâthe community hosts a high-stakes karaoke competition. But when a convicted murderer escapes from nearby Crow Valley Correctional, residents discover thereâs more on the line than local, perhaps even national, karaoke fame.
In this darkly comedic, fast-paced ride through an unforgettable small town, five residents with intimate connections to Dale and drastically different goals for the night will collide into, conspire with, and aid one another as they scramble to make it successfully through the evening under the scrutinizing watch of neighbors.
To the soundtrack of classics belted out with abandon, voices will crack, cars will be stolen, marriages will falter, and kids will slip away in search of trouble. And maybe, just maybe, lives will be transformed for the better.
