THE INLET…Memoir of a Modern Pioneer, is a rich historical document of a wild and beautiful part of BC's west coast and a gripping tale of one family's struggles to navigate a modern-day pioneer existence in a place called Loughborough.
The author/artist Helen Piddington and her husband Dane Campbell settled there in 1975 with their two-year-old daughter Arabella. Their reasons for moving were different. For Dane, a professional photographer wanting to write, the place offered safe moorage for his beloved sailboat Native Girl. For Helen, an artist at the height of her career, it meant the possibility of more time for printmaking and that the family would be together year round...fast forward...Their boat, Native Girl, didn't last a year, the children grew up and moved away, but Dane and Helen stayed on. Now considered the inlet's "old-timers," both of them love the place as much as life itself...and this is their story!
