Darby Swank’s entire life changed when her Aunt Bea was murdered in their rural Saskatchewan community. Now in college, Darby tentatively develops new friendships and connections, including her charismatic cousin Brynny, a young woman who leads an exciting and inclusive church in rural Alberta. After landing a sought-after gig with an established Toronto band, Darby begins to make a name for herself on the Canadian music scene. Yet she remains haunted by the violence in her past—especially as fame and its trappings force Darby to confront what matters most.

By turns lyrical and brutal, All That's Left is a novel that demands to be read.
