520    Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling 
       cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of 
       the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit 
       seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as 
       beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. 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.Beaton's natural cartooning prowess
       is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and 
       mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop 
       of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first
       full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil
       Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides 
       itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while 
       simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and 
       the humanity of its people.
