Published in 2014 this book reads like maybe a “John Grisham” fast-paced and an everyday person going up against the big powers to be. Yet here you have a true story of a woman in Laurel Mississippi going up against big oil. Because of the white powder that was on her husband's overalls from work, that ended up in their vegetable garden the substance was later found to be radioactive. Then you find out that the oil companies knew about it but chose to do nothing about it.
Karen Smith though pregnant went and found an attorney who would take on her fight with her and together they fought big oil and big business, the little person won finally, but the story is more than that. It is once again a telling of how business can get away with so much and how I feel even your own government or people working for the government choose to do nothing until someone fights back. This is an excellent book and I am thankful for BenBella Books for the opportunity to read it.
