A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK ⢠The dramatic story of the Flint water crisis, by a relentless physician who stood up to power. âStirring . . . [a] blueprint for all those who believe . . . that âthe world . . . should be full of people raising their voices.âââThe New York Times âRevealing, with the gripping intrigue of a Grisham thriller.â âO: 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 waterâand then battled her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, What the Eyes Donât 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 herselfâan immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose familyâs activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice. What the Eyes Donât 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 theirâand all of ourâchildren. Praise for What the Eyes Donât See âIt is one thing to point out a problem. It is another thing altogether to step up and work to fix it. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a true American hero.ââErin Brockovich âA clarion call to live a life of purpose.ââThe Washington Post âGripping . . . entertaining . . . Her book has power precisely because she takes the events she recounts so personally. . . . Moral outrage present on every page.ââThe New York Times Book Review âPersonal and emotional. . . She vividly describes the effects of lead poisoning on her young patients. . . . She is at her best when recounting the detective work she undertook after a tip-off about lead levels from a friend. . . . âFlint will not be defined by this crisis,â vows Ms. Hanna-Attisha.ââThe Economist âFlint is a public health disaster. But it was Dr. Mona, this caring, tough pediatrican turned detective, who cracked the case.ââRachel Maddow
