Summary:
"The dramatic
story
of the U.S. environmental disaster of our time, and an inspiring tale of scientific
resistance
by a relentless physician. In 2014, Michigan--in the name of austerity--shifted the source of its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Soon after, citizens began complaining about it--but officials rebuffed them, insisting that the water was fine. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, a pediatrician, took state officials at their word and encouraged the parents and children in her care to continue drinking the water. But a conversation at a cookout, leaked documents from a rogue environmental inspector, and the activism of a concerned mother raised red flags about lead -- a neurotoxin whose irreversible effects fall most heavily on children. Dr. Mona knew that the only thing that could stop the lead poisoning was undeniable proof -- and that to get it, she'd have to enter the fight of her life."--From publisher.
