This memoir recounts Kristen Iversen’s childhood growing up in the small Colorado town of Rocky Flats, near Denver. Her childhood was filled with secrets—like why so many children she knew got cancer. And there were questions about what exactly was made in the Rocky Flats plant. When she got older, looking for answers, she worked there for a while. She discovered a government effort to conceal the effects of the industry. And she details the townspeople’s efforts to get justice for what was done to them without their knowledge.
