Big Rock Candy Town

Big Rock Candy Town is the story of two sisters who arrive from Ontario to live with their father and his new wife and family in the small mining town of Fernie, in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. But it is also - or perhaps more so - the story of Fernie itself in the 1950s, told from various points of view, which unfolds in the lives of immigrants from all parts of the world who seek in the Rockies the fulfillment of their dreams.
