More About the Book
"The impact of women on resource-based communities is often overlooked. Boom & Bust seeks to balance the scales by including stories of over twenty-five women who lived in the Cove during the last one hundred years. Their contributions to Telegraph Cove resulted in a distinct sense of community and reveal much about the experience of living in an isolated area . . . . Jennifer Butler assembled the history of Telegraph Cove by situating women in leading roles, highlighting their resilience, anguish, and joy. These women and their families dealt with isolation and community decline but were not beyond the reach of economic depression and the effects of war. Boom & Bust honestly and authentically chronicled the history of Telegraph Cove."
"Undeniably a wonderful read, and the photographs are outstanding."
