Summary
:
When a labourer at a limestone quarry gets badly hurt at work, it sets off a chain of events that reach from rural Newfoundland's west coast across the island to St. John's. The story is set in a previous century when the safety of workers and the hardships they faced were low on the list of priorities for most employers. The Quarry addresses social mores and the challenges faced at that point in time. The patriarch of the Kelly family keeps a secret that, if discovered, could make life so much tougher than it already is. The Quarry is a tale of faith, family, and the seemingly insurmountable challenges of daily life. Yet heroes do exist and come to the aid of the poor and the struggling as an unscrupulous and immoral fiend seeks to profit from ill-gotten gains and the bigotry that saw many families hide their indigenous roots.
