"Photography is what rescued Thelma Pepper from the bounds of depression and Saskatchewan and Canada are better for it. In photography, she found what her father and grandfather before her had found and that was a capacity to peer into other lives and in so doing revealing the subjects as they had not been seen before.

In these stunning black and white photographs, and the stories that accompany them, we see hope and hardship; but we also see and hear how creativity can inspire human connection and transform lives.
