A first of its kind, written for the millennial generation, and brutally honest - Unrefined explores and exposed the human side of one of the most controversial workplaces in the world. Victor, a twenty-six year old engineer from Ontario, packs up his life to live and work in the heart of Canada's oil sands. His story reveals that perhaps the worst part of the oil sands isn't the environmental damage that the media claims, but the people who work there. Unrefined is chock-full of unique insights and perspectives from the male-dominated region of Fort McMurray. The novel - perhaps unknowingly but definitely unexpectedly - is also an honest and entertaining exploration of the male-female relationship as seen through the eyes of a man in his prime.
