WHAT THE EYES DON'T SEE A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City

Pediatrician Hanna-Attisha presents a personal story of Flint, Michigan, as it deals with its health crisis, which began in 2014. Her narration is just as pivotal and profound as her book's content. There is a nurturing passionate and faintly humorous side to Dr. Mona's spoken words. The shock of what is occurring in the city--high levels of lead in the water--is evident from the beginning, but her increasing frustrations build with each chapter as Flint's citizens demand answers and improvements. Her passion is fully believable, whether she is talking about her own immigrant upbringing or medical research pertaining to the children she serves. This is a powerfully narrated story of unacceptable events that are turned around by the author's determination as well as the support she receives in the midst of adversity.
