This book is written by an investigative journalist and provides a detailed account of the Woburn, Massachusetts cluster of childhood cancer incidences. The book credits the Rev. Bruce Young, who had to overcome his initial skepticism that contaminated well water could be causing the illness. Rev. Young organized parishioners whose children had died, and subsequently their testimony was significant in the Senate passage of the Superfund Act.
