Program Description

Event Details

Spring Book Club

Read or listen to a preselected book at home and discuss it at the monthly meeting. Each registrant will receive a complimentary copy of the book, while supplies last.

With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush—part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can’t find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.
