UPDATES May 09: "The
topic I was going to address-pollution, the Great Lakes, the escalating
rates of cancers that women must endure-those things were much bigger
than me. I had found my voice and was willing to deal with my fears only
because I had something to say. I needed to be heard, and I am not
alone... Despite our obvious experience and stake in multiple issues of
national importance, women are still underrepresented in the debate
around the most important issues of the day. Unfortunately, taking a
public stand on an issue of national importance is not something women
do with great regularity or ease-especially women like me." - Nancy
Nichols, Finding my Voice at 50 (MORE Magazine) Nov/Dec. 08:
"Her explanation of the chemical soup of her childhood home... engages
us in the science of toxic body burdens while weaving us through her
struggles to become a mother, support a marriage, and survive the cancer
that took her sister." — Bloomsbury Review 11.30.08 "An engaging and generally well-told tale." —Shannon Brownlee, Washington Post Book World 11.5.08: "Lake Effect... has mystery, adventure, family drama, history and enough lab results to satisfy avid CSI fans." — Murray Ledger & Times 10.19.08: "While telling us about the tragedy and suffering, [Nichols] is also able to detach and focus on the broader issues of individual responsibility, and civic and corporate accountability." — Great Lakes Town Hall 10.13.08: "Nancy's message to our audience was that in writing her book, she found that a powerful set of clues came from people who were willing to talk to her about their own health challenges. The information allowed her to weave together the likely relationship between a small town of afflicted citizens and years of irresponsibility by polluters protected by a government that turned a blind eye." —MoreGreenMoms.com 10.9.08: WBEZ-FM/ Chicago, IL "Eight Forty-Eight" »»» Listen here 10.8.08:
"This family's tragic story just goes to show that restoring the Great
Lakes isn't only an environmental or economic issue; it is a public
health issue." — Tiffany Pache, Healthy Lakes, Healthy Lives 10.8.08: Allegheny Front, Environmental radio for Western Pennsylvania »»» Listen here 10.6.08: TMJ4 TV "Morning Blend" »»» Watch here 9.30.08: Nancy A. Nichols on National Public Radio's "The Diane Rehm Show." »»» Listen Here 9.27.08:
"... Eloquent indictment of decades of corporate carelessness, official
inaction and American society's reflexive focus on searching for a cure
instead of a cause." — EnviroBlog, Environmental Connections to Public Health 9.25.08: "In Lake Effect, Nichols, now 49, weaves her investigations of Waukegan's pollution and the causes of cancer with her own story of diagnosis and treatment. It's a thoughtful examination of the risks faced by bodies made by nature in a world fabricated by technology." — Pittsburgh City Paper 9.24.08:
"I have no courtroom proof, but I have no doubt either," said Ms.
Nichols, now of Boston. "In the book I don't say this caused my cancer. I
show the huge amount of evidence, then let readers make their own
conclusions." — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 9.15.08: Writer's Voice with Francesca Rheannon »»» Listen here 9.15.08:
"A chilling indictment of how government and big business prized
profits over health and a moving tale of one woman's struggle to
understand why." — People magazine (3 stars) 8.21.08: Wisconsin Public Radio's "Conversations with Joy Cardin." »»» Listen Here 7.28.08: "Nichols constructs a fast-moving, urgent narrative that catalogues the evidence of the many different forms of pollution and the likelihood that they contributed to the cancers, documenting the choices and treatment she must face as a cancer patient." — Publishers Weekly
