Hometown Asylum

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the Alberta Hospital Ponoka, the narrative explores the intersection of personal and institutional histories from 1911 onwards. The facility, once the largest psychiatric institution in Alberta, is intricately linked to Jack Martin's life, as his father worked there. This connection provides a unique lens through which to examine the complexities of mental health care and its impact on the community and individual lives over the years.
