What is this book about?
Eliza Griswold examines the social, environmental and economic impact of natural gas fracking on a small town in south-western Pennsylvania. The book focuses mainly on Stacey Haney and her children as they deal with the consequences in their community, from contaminated water to health problems and legal battles. Griswold also considers what fracking means for rural America, the environment and the energy industry.
