Amity and Prosperity by Eliza Griswold

A very detailed narrative about one family's horrific exposure to fracking toxins, and their subsequent legal battle against the businesses that brought fracking into their community. Imagine being in a situation where the home you live and the water supply you depend on now sickens your children, yourself and your animals but you also can't sell it and leave. A single parent, you work three jobs to survive but you also have to spend a huge amount of time going to doctor appointments because of family illnesses due to fracking toxins. This is a very hard book to read because of the unfolding tragedy for this family and others yet it provides an informative microcosm of the impact fracking is having on communities around our country and the world.
