Toxic Waste

The Story

Recently recovered from a stroke, Fonnie Beachum is ready to reclaim her life -- with a little help from her grandson, a rookie cop, and a competent but preoccupied aide who helps out daily. But her bustling North Carolina town is embroiled in a bitter controversy over a proposed landfill, and Fonnie has divided loyalties. And when Christine Hauner, Fonnie's aide, is found dead at a demonstration, the older woman takes it personally.
