WHITE COAL CITY

A Memoir of Place and Family by Robert Boschman

Robert Boschman grew up in a coin laundromat sandwiched between a residential school and a jail in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. White Coal City is a story of family trauma, palpable but never spoken of. The devastating fate of a grandmother killed by a hit-and-run driver while she was six months pregnant is gently shared through letters, journal entries, newspaper clippings, and accounts from the coroner’s inquest.
