I'm a historian. I am a journalist. I'm an author. And like every storyteller, I'm always looking for stories.
And the book I did before this one was about female pilots in the 1920s and 30s fighting for the right to fly and race planes.
For me, it's the human story. This to me was always the story of a neighborhood, the story of families living in that neighborhood.
I think all too often when people have written about Love Canal, it's been told as a chemical story.
And to me, this was a human story. And early on, I connected with a couple of those people.
