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

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.â€™â€â€”The New York Times

â€œRevealing, with the gripping intrigue of a Grisham thriller.â€ â€”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 waterâ€”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 Donâ€™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 herselfâ€”an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose familyâ€™s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.

What the Eyes Donâ€™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 theirâ€”and all of ourâ€”children.

â€œA clarion call to live a life of purpose.â€â€”The Washington Post

â€œGripping . . . entertaining . . . Her book has power precisely because she takes the events she recounts so personally. . . . Moral outrage present on every page.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

â€œPersonal 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. . . . â€›Flint will not be defined by this crisis,â€™ vows Ms. Hanna-Attisha.â€â€”The Economist

â€œFlint is a public health disaster. But it was Dr. Mona, this caring, tough pediatrican turned detective, who cracked the case.â€â€”Rachel Maddow
