'A Town Called Solace' is told in three distinct, compelling voices - Clara's, Mrs. Orchard's, and Liam's - cutting back and forth to carefully uncover the layers of grief, remorse, and love that connect families, both the ones we're born into and the ones we choose, and steadily building towards an assured, heart-wrenching and (despite its losses) uplifting ending.
