What the Eyes Don't See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City (One World Essentials)

AÂ NEW YORK TIMESÂ NOTABLE BOOK â€¢Â The dramatic story of the Flint water crisis, by a relentless physician who stood up to power.

â€œStirring . . . [a] blueprint for all those who believe . . . that â€˜the world . . . should be full of people raising their voices.'"-The New York Times

â€œRevealing, with the gripping intrigue of a Grisham thriller." -O: The Oprah Magazine

Here is the inspiring story of how Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, alongside a team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders, discovered that the children of Flint, Michigan, were being exposed to lead in their tap water-and then battled her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, What the Eyes Don't See reveals how misguided austerity policies, broken democracy, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. And at the center of the story is Dr. Mona herself-an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family's activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.

What the Eyes Don't See is a riveting account of a shameful disaster that became a tale of hope, the story of a city on the ropes that came together to fight for justice, self-determination, and the right to build a better world for their-and all of our-children.
