The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won. Wastelands takes us into a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and the lives of the people who found the courage to fight.

À true story so beautifully crafted that it is as exciting to read as any fictional tale. I could not put it down. There is courage and greed, grace and deceit, much to admire and much to despise. The hidden suffering of both people and animals is heartbreaking luckily balanced by bravery, strength and compassion. A rich, very worthwhile read.
