“An intimate and deeply human memoir that shows why we should all be concerned about nuclear safety, and the dangers of ignoring science in the name of national security.”—Rebecca Skloot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks A shocking account of the government’s attempt to conceal the effects of the toxic waste released by a secret nuclear weapons plant in Colorado and a community’s vain search for justice—soon to be a feature documentary Kristen Iversen grew up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated "the most contaminated site in America." Full Body Burden is the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and--unknown to those who lived there--tainted with invisible yet deadly particles of plutonium. It's also a book about the destructive power of secrets--both family and government. Her father's hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats--best not to inquire too deeply into any of it. But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions and discovered some disturbing realities. Based on extensive interviews, FBI and EPA documents, and class-action testimony, this taut, beautifully written book is both captivating and unnerving.

For three long years, Violet was held captive, beaten, and starved. The only thing that kept her going during the last few months was the innocent life growing inside her. When a neighboring pack swoops in and rescues her, she has to decide if she's going to live in fear or risk her body-and her heart-to claim her true mate. The instant Joss caught the scent of the woman in the dilapidated shed on the outskirts of the Mahehkan lands he'd known she was his mate. Now she's in his home, and her body is healing. But it takes a lot more than disappearing cuts and bruises to repair the damage done to her. He's determined to do whatever it takes to make her whole again-even if it means losing her in the end.
