McAuliffe Evening Book Club: Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton
Join the McAuliffe Evening Book Group for this month's discussion: Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton. Come in person to the McAuliffe Branch or join via Zoom. Register for the Zoom link.
Arriving in Fort McMurray, Beaton finds work in the lucrative camps owned and operated by the world’s largest oil companies. Being one of the few women among thousands of men, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. She encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed. Her wounds may never heal.
Join us again on December 10th for a book swap!
