Paradise falls : the true story of an environmental catastrophe
Lois Gibbs, Luella Kenny, and Barbara Quimby thought they had found a slice of the American dream when they and their families moved onto the quiet streets of Love Canal, a picturesque middle-class hamlet by Niagara Falls in the winter of 1977, the town had record snowfalls, and in the spring, rains filled the earth with water like a sponge and the basements of the neighbourhood's homes with a pungent odour.
