Synopsis

An inspiring story of hope and resiliency 


On April 6, 2018, sixteen people died and thirteen others
were injured after a bus taking
the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a
transport truck in a rural intersection. The tragedy moved millions of people to
leave hockey sticks by their front door to show sympathy and support for the
Broncos. People from more than eighty countries pledged millions of dollars to
families whose relatives had been directly involved in the accident.


Crossroads is the story of Kaleb Dahlgren, a young man who survived the bus crash
and faced life after the tragedy with
resiliency and positivity. In this chronicle of his time with the Broncos and
the loving community of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Dahlgren takes a hard look at
his experience of unprecedented loss, but also revels in the overwhelming
response and outpouring of love from across Canada and around the world. But this
book also goes much deeper, revealing the adversity Dahlgren faced long before
his time in Humboldt and his inspiring journey since the accident. 

From a
childhood spent learning to live with type 1 diabetes to his remarkable
recovery from severe brain trauma that astounded medical professionals, Dahlgren
documents a life of perseverance, gratitude and hope in the wake of enormous
obstacles and life-altering tragedy. 

The author will donate a portion of his proceeds from this book to STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service).
