The MacArthur grant–winning environmental justice activist’s riveting memoir of a life fighting for a cleaner future for America’s most vulnerable A Smithsonian Magazine Top Ten Best Science Book of 2020 Catherine Coleman Flowers, a 2020 MacArthur “genius,” grew up in Lowndes County, Alabama, a place that’s been called “Bloody Lowndes” because of its violent, racist history. Once the epicenter of the voting rights struggle, today it’s Ground Zero for a new movement that is also Flowers’s life’s work—a fight to ensure human dignity through a right most Americans take for granted: basic sanitation. Too many people, especially the rural poor, lack an affordable means of disposing cleanly of the waste from their toilets and, as a consequence, live amid filth. Flowers calls this America’s dirty secret. In this “powerful and moving book” (Booklist), she tells the story of systemic class, racial, and geographic prejudice that foster Third World conditions not just in Alabama, but across America, in Appalachia, Central California, coastal Florida, Alaska, the urban Midwest, and on Native American reservations in the West. In this inspiring story of the evolution of an activist, from country girl to student civil rights organizer to environmental justice champion at Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative, Flowers shows how sanitation is becoming too big a problem to ignore as climate change brings sewage to more backyards—not only those of poor minorities.

ANTHONY I never thought I was the guy who loses his head when someone tall, dark and dangerous looks my way. Who'd risk everything for a taste of something that's never as good as it seems. It only takes one night with my best friend's brother to change that. The secrecy is what drew me in, not the way my skin tingled from the moment I lay eyes on him.

What sins in his past had even my best friend wanting nothing to do with him? I don't know if he's as dangerous as everyone claims. I don't know why I'm the only one who thinks there might be more to him than this darkness everyone else sees. All I know is I can't stop looking for proof I'm right...because I'm already in way too deep. RYAN I thought prison had prepared me for this. The stares, the cold shoulders, the contempt...but it doesn't matter. I can't take back what I've done. I'm not sure I would, even if I could. There's only one shining light in the darkness, a brightness I can't look away from, no matter how many people warn me I should. Anthony, my little brother's best friend. They say I'll only hurt him too, and they're not wrong. Yet every time he shows up at my door, I can't help but let him in. I don't know why he believes I'm worth it, what he sees that nobody else does. I just know that I need it. Crave it. Crave him. And when a one-night stand leads to unexpected consequences, when he finally starts to listen to them and pull away...all I know is I'll do anything to stop it. I don't know how he convinced me I could be the man he deserves, but he did. I can. And I'll do anything to prove it.
