Sounds like a very heartfelt and yet painful book to read. I'm going to RUN out and buy the book tomorrow.
There's no question, more and more people are contracting cancer because of the environment. I actually had dinner with a woman last night who's a 4 time ovarian cancer survivor. She, her sister and their brother all got different types of cancer. Her whole family was exposed to DDT and she's proof positive that they all got cancer from the chemical exposure they received growing up on their family farm in the mid west.
I'm so glad Aspengirl that you're bringing this to the forefront. And I'm so very grateful that Nancy Nichols was brave enough to write The Lake Effect: Two Sisters and a Town's Toxic Legacy. It must have been so difficult for her to write this book while going through her own cancer diagnosis.
That just goes to show you the Empowerment of sharing. Nancy should be the first recipient of EmpowHer's "Her" Award for sharing her story with all of us.
I've already got Todd emailing her to see if she'll let me interview her. I'm sure our women would love to hear what she has to say.
