Iona, a young woman from Canada's east coast, works as a heavy equipment operator in the Alberta oilfields. When she finds herself pregnant after a casual encounter with a friend, Iona knows she can’t raise a child in a work camp. She considers having an abortion, but then she meets a couple working in management for the company who are unable to have children. When they present her with a proposal to adopt the baby, Iona recoils from the idea that everything has a dollar value. What can and cannot be sold? Shared resources? A river? The future? Boom Baby explores complex questions with heart and humour.

About the Author

Natalie Meisner is a professor, a playwright, a poet, a mom, and now a podcast host (not necessarily in that order). She was born on the Mi'kma'ki/South Shore of Nova Scotia where she began her curious life by reading, with wild abandon, all the books that came through in the town bookmobile. She has seven full-length books in various genres to her name, was Calgary/Mohkinstsis's fifth Poet Laureate, and teaches creative writing at Mount Royal University where she loves helping other writers find their voice.
