"Over the course of 2 years, the author traveled to 12 communities from New York to Alaska to collect stories from residents who live in communities that are on the front line and in the middle of toxic 'sacrifice zones'—some of the most polluted and poisoned places in America. Sacrifice zones are often 'fenceline communities' of low-income and people of color, or hot spots' of chemical pollution where residents live immediately adjacent to heavily polluted industries or military bases."
