Resilience is the key, the deciding factor between a child, who overcomes adversity and thrives and a child, who never makes it to a healthy adulthood. Page 14.
“Resilience isn‘t something you were born with. It isn‘t a trait that you have or don‘t have. It‘s learned. This means that for every child raised in a toxic environment or an unraveling community - both of which take a terrible toll on childhood development and can have lasting effects-there is hope.

“It is a story about what happens when the very people responsible for keeping us safe, care more about money and power, than they care about us, or our children.” - P. 13

pickThe Flint water crisis was a tragedy brought on by a true clusterfuck of people and policies at local and state levels. There were many times it could‘ve been prevented, and it was going on long before the national media showed up. Clark covers the crisis from start to finish and the precipitating factors that caused it. A great piece of reporting!
pickI devoured this history / memoir of a pediatrician trying to expose the lead in the Flint water system. HIGHLY recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
