Amity and Prosperity

by Eliza Griswold

In 'Amity and Prosperity', Eliza Griswold, an awarded poet and journalist, chronicles the harrowing narrative of a small town's struggle with the consequences of the fracking industry and the resilience of a woman who becomes a beacon of activism. Stacey Haney, a nurse and single mother, finds her life upended when the promise of economic prosperity from local fracking operations turns into a nightmare. Pet deaths and her children's unexplained illnesses lead her down a path of investigation and confrontation. Alongside a determined legal team, Haney uncovers the ecological devastation and the betrayal by those sworn to protect the community. Over seven years, she faces down corporate giants, engages with skeptical neighbors, and challenges governmental neglect. This is a story of environmental justice, the endurance of community ties, and one family's unyielding pursuit of truth against all odds.
