Amazon 5 Star, True Story Memoir Book Review

Highly recommended, May 15, 2011

This review is from:

Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir (Kindle Edition)

I bought this book primarily because I am acquainted with the author in an online sort of way, but I have never met him. I wasn't sure what to expect, so, hoping it would be a light & easy read, saved it for a recent beach trip.

It proved riveting, so much so that I ignored my traveling companions & the beach, & read until it was finished. It is a story of family love, pain & triumph. I only wish Norma Jean had lived to see the man Kris has become. She would be so proud! But then, she was always proud of him.

I recommend this book to everyone, bar none!

It is a wonderful commentary on the very things that make us all human.

Hinkley Water & Erin Brockovich - Town of Poison

Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir by Kris Courtney

While many of the more than 600 original Hinkley litigants moved away from the town after the 1996 settlement, Walker stayed. She preferred the remote desert landscape to a city skyline.

Now, Walker and Brockovich are struggling to understand how this could be happening all over again.

"When I first met Roberta back in 1991 and 1992, she said PG&E is buying property, handing out bottled water and my horse just died," she said. "This year she called and said they're buying property, handing out bottled water and my horse just died.

"Eerie doesn't describe it," she said. "It was out of body — it was like the 20 years never happened."

In 2008, the plume of chromium began spreading. Despite efforts by PG&E to stem the problem, tests this year showed it was growing again. According the utility and water board, the plume is two miles long and a mile wide.
