What they wanted / Donna Morrissey.
"In her new novel, award-winning author Donna Morrissey explores both new and familiar terrain: the wild shores of a Newfoundland outport and the equally wild environment of an Alberta oil rig. After Sylvanus Now suffers a heart attack, family tensions come to the fore: daughter Sylvie must deal with her feelings of estrangement from her mother, while her brother Chris, a natural artist, frustrates his dreams by going to work on an oil rig. An epic novel about the enduring ties of family."--Publisher.
