\"The Quarry has always been a dangerous place to work but the families of the small community have little choice. When the worst happens, there are many questions to be answered, and the search for truth opens doors that some may wish to remain closed. Exploring the everyday intricacies of life, death, faith and prejudice, this fascinating story will transport you to another time – when good and decent people struggled to be accepted, and when fair working conditions and representation was a work in progress.\" – Gillian Balharry When a labourer at a limestone quarry gets badly hurt at work, it sets off a chain of events that reach from rural Newfoundland's west coast across the island to St. John's. The story is set in a previous century when the safety of workers and the hardships they faced were low on the list of priorities for most employers. The Quarry addresses social mores and the challenges faced at that point in time. The patriarch of the Kelly family keeps a secret that, if discovered, could make life so much tougher than it already is. The Quarry is a tale of faith, family, and the seemingly insurmountable challenges of daily life. Yet heroes do exist and come to the aid of the poor and the struggling as an unscrupulous and immoral fiend seeks to profit from ill-gotten gains and the bigotry that saw many families hide their indigenous roots. | The Quarry by Carol Morrissey Hopkins, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
