Kelly McMasters, the writer, presents her new book "Welcome to Shirley: A Memoir from an Atomic Town":
it tells the story of growing up in Shirley, NY and the realization that the neighboring Brookhaven National Laboratory was polluting the land and drinking water on Long Island. Through well researched evidence, Kelly links cancer clusters around Shirley to the nuclear site, and weaves a touching story of friendship and loss in her hometown.
She also teaches writing at mediabistro.com and the undergraduate writing program and Journalism Graduate School at Columbia University.
