About the book
Friendswood, Texas, is a small Gulf Coast town of church suppers, high school football games, oil rigs on the horizon and hurricane weather. When tragedy rears its head with an industrial leak that kills and sickens residents, it pulls on the common thread that runs through the community, intensifying everything. Steinke explores what happens when families are trapped in the ambiguity of history's missteps, when the actions of a few change the lives and well-being of many.
