Based on a true story about the uprooting of Newfoundlanders by the mining collapse of the 1980s, and their eventual move to newly booming Alberta. There they find that life is not easy but family is still paramount.
After generations of prosperity in the mining town of Brighton, Newfoundland, Jack and Angela McCarthy find themselves jobless. In order to keep his family together, Jack accepts a job in a gold mine in the wilds of northern Alberta.
2015 DEWEY DIVA PICK
Arriving in Foxville, the McCarthys find themselves resented, bullied, and cast as outsiders. When Jacks best friend, Peter, is swindled out of his savings and resorts to stealing from the mine, his attempts at reversing their fortunes thrust both families into even deeper torment.
A powerful, poetic novel dealing with the effects of poverty, the harshness and beauty of Canadas north, the perils of theft, and the timeless value of community and family among displaced Newfoundlanders, Saltwater Cowboys is a classic cautionary tale that presents a stark glimpse into the lives of families struggling to survive in unfamiliar terrain.
