Kerri Arsenault’s acclaimed memoir, Mill Town: Reckoning with What Remains has met with tremendous critical acclaim since its publication. In addition to being a sharp and beautiful book of memoir and history, Mill Town is a spirited call-to-arms, a rallying cry for a true accounting of the costs – environmental, health, economic, and otherwise – that industries exact on the often impoverished communities that depend upon them for their survival.
