Full body burden : growing up in the nuclear shadow of Rocky Flats / Kristen Iversen.
A haunting work of narrative nonfiction about a young woman growing up in a small Colorado town close to a secret nuclear weapons plant. It's the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and tainted with invisible yet deadly plutonium.
