FBB#2: Laura Bruce


                I think Iversen’s writing style gets easier to cope with as I keep reading. I’m now able to switch back and forth from her childhood to other, seemingly unconnected, events, and see how the one will affect the other. After seeing what Rocky Flats is doing to the community, I’m dreading having to finish this book. I am appalled that officials let things get so out of hand with hazardous materials and I can only imagine what outcome this will have on Kristen and her family.

                I feel a deep sadness for Kristen and her siblings because of their parents. It amazes me that the two of them give very little concern for their own children. The mother doesn’t bother to properly take care of them anymore, soaking in her own misery, and their father’ alcoholism got way out of hand. That he even considered driving them anywhere in his condition amazes me. People are supposed to protect their kids.
