What the Eyes Don't See

What the Eyes Don’t See (2018) by Mona Hanna-Attisha tells the story of Flint, Michigan and its toxic water. The author, Dr. Mona, is the woman who found scientific proof that Flint’s water was indeed toxic; through her position as the head of the pediatric residency at Flint’s Hurley Medical Center, she was able to access blood-lead levels of Flint’s children.  Her courage and tenacity, her family’s background and her long-established love of social and environmental justice primed her to step out as a leader for Flint.  This book is her story.
