Poignant Account
Format: Kindle
Fascinating account of a young woman's journey through two years of bleakness and danger in Canada's tar sands. I was drawn to this graphic novel because of its unusual subject matter and was impressed with its depth and insights -- just who is that is drawn to these places and this kind of life and why? It was even darker than expected as well as one more argument to end fossil fuels -- not only for their contribution to climate change, but because of the extreme damage they do to the environment and to the people who work in this industry and those who live nearby. A beautifully honest work of art.

A both pragmatic and intimate window into the effects of economic displacement on the working class
Format: Kindle
Beaton's autobiographical account puts the reader into the position of a working class young person making the most practical economic decision for herself - and therefore exposing herself to the surreal realities that post-NAFTA capitalism and environmental crisis life have created for not only working class families in Canada, but to the lands and lifestyle they once loved and cherished.
In these pages that plainly display slice of life interactions without exaggeration or fanfare, the experience is natural and never preachy. Behind the grounded focus on day to day life, the economic system of worship of money over human-to-human relationships and human-to-nature relationships is the understated undercurrent. From that current rises the dust covered, inherently temporary, inherently not-treated-as-a-home, world of the oil sands and work camps and the psychology that they create, which Beaton unflinchingly examines.
I, too, chose to avoid the pit of student loans, but rather in the United States and by joining the US Army as a female soldier. These accounts would be very poignant to any female veteran, especially anyone who has been on a combat deployment. I highly recommend it.

Entertaining, imformative, important and compassionate
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book thinking (1), it'll be easy to consume, (2) I'll learn something about Canadian culture, (3) it'll at some point shed a light on the environmental harms that oil drilling causes, and (4) there'll be a redeeming ending. I was right about (2) and (3). Easy to consume? Not as easy as I thought and whether or not the ending is redeeming, the author Beaton leaves to the reader to determine. It is autobiographical based on the author's experiences, and she does go on after her experiences to become a renowned author/cartoonist. However, one questions whether these experiences, that were part of her path to get there, justify the means, and there is no overarching message that wraps everything up neatly "in a bow".
This book was even more important that I anticipated it to be and while it does speak to certain aspects of Canadian culture (mostly regional), the lessons can be applied beyond that context. My favorite aspects of the book were that it addressed difficult topics with humanity and compassion and even though this topics are intellectually and emotionally difficult, the medium is easier to consumer than perhaps other mediums. Highly recommend.
