Veronica Pike Kennedy wrote a review in Sunday’s Paper of Dennis Love’s My City Was Gone, published by William Morrow, a Harper Collins imprint. The book is about Anniston’s plight with toxic PCB’s and Monsanto over the years.
(Please note: The author used to be a reporter at the News. So don’t be surprised if Love gets some love from the paper.)
