Publisher's Synopsis
"M. Terry Martin grew up feeling grateful for the paper mill that dominated her small Maine town's economy. It wasn't until later, as a nurse, that she and her physician husband Joseph Edward "Doc" Martin came to believe that the cause of the area's sky-high rates of lymphoma, pediatric cancer, and lung disease could be seen billowing from the mill's smokestack both day and night. Together they sounded an alarm no one wanted to hear-and began a decades-long fight to expose the devil's bargain the community had made with the mill, a fight that Terry continued even after Doc himself fell victim to cancer"--.
