- Summary
- "Ann Cummins stakes claim to rich new literary territory with a story of people straddling cultures and cheating fate in the American Southwest. Yellowcake introduces us to two unforgettable families - one Navajo, one Anglo - some twenty years after the closing of the uranium mill near where they once made their homes. When little Becky Atcitty shows up on the Mahoneys' doorstep all grown up, the past comes crashing in on Ryland and his lively brood. Becky, the daughter of one of the Navajo mill workers Ryland had supervised, is now involved in a group seeking damages for those harmed by the radioactive dust that contaminated their world. But Ryland wants no part of dredging up their past - or acknowledging his future. When his wife joins the cause, the messy, modern lives of this eclectic cast of characters collide once again, testing their mettle, stretching their faith, and reconnecting past and present in unexpected new ways. Yellowcake is a story of how everyday people sort their way through life, with all its hidden hazards."--BOOK JACKET.
