Caption/Description

Lerah Parker had a dream come true when W.R. Grace sold her riverfront property with enough dirt to start a successful nursery. Now her home has been razed and decades of personal belongings are now being sealed back into the mine. She has had to become certified in hazardous materials to even visit her land.
