Migration of people from East Coast to other provinces, is not a new thing  and Kate Beaton shows in her graphic memeoir that is not a simple answer. She writes and shows something most people with debt can relate to being able to pay off debt they will tolerate things that they would not normally do, but everyone has their breaking point.  She shows how circumstances and situations can change people both for the goos and bad.

This is my second reading of Ducks. I'm a long time fan of Beaton and the comics about her life were always interesting. It's fascinating to look into someone else's life. It's not just another world, it's their view of an entirely different world. But tragically many things are still the same

This book is informative. The story evolves and you often feel emotionally conflicted - feeling sad for what happens and hopeful for change. This was my first graphic novel and I quickly read it front to back in 4 sittings. The story is a bit broken into short poingant sections to portray an image and the feeling, but then it moves on to another story. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to men and women needing a perspective of life for our hardworking blue collars in society.
