Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Prize for her New York Times best-selling The Tenth Parallel, Griswold makes fracking up-front and personal by taking us to impoverished Amity, PA, where lifetime resident Stacey Haney initially welcomed the cash fracking brought. Then animals began to die, inexplicable illnesses struck, and Haney took it upon herself to uncover corporate wrongdoing.
