The audiobook Sweetland tells the story of a small isolated town on an island off the coast of Canada that is facing extinction as its population declines. When the government offers a generous resettlement package to the remaining islanders requiring everyone to leave, the only person who refuses is Moses Sweetland, whose ancestors founded the village. As Moses watches his neighbors abandon the island, he recalls the town's history and eccentric past residents. The audiobook explores Moses' determination to resist the disappearance of his community and environment as the world around him vanishes.
