About this book

A village community watches its land deteriorate as polluted rivers and damaged soil threaten daily life. Children and their parents gather repeatedly to hear assurances from representatives of Pexton, even as illness spreads. Told through a collective voice, the novel opens with the villagers' growing distrust of a company whose promises offer little relief from their suffering.
