Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats

I was referred to this book by a good friend whose family had lived not far from where the author grew up. I've been out to the Rocky Flats Nature Preserve. I remember the Grand Jury and the FBI Raid. Knowing all of that still didn't prepare me for what I read in this book. Full Body Burden is 2 narratives: The story of Kristen Iversen and her family and the story of Rocky Flats. Both stories are intermingled in the book. You may begin one chapter with a detailed description of what is going on with Rocky Flats at a particular time and end the chapter on Iversen's family. The book is compelling and frightening.
