Synopsis
In light of the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan, the remarkable personal story that comprises Fear Itself becomes a cautionary tale.
Unwittingly exposed to low-level radiation in the 1940s, Candida Lawrence has lived courageously with its effects throughout her life. Fear Itself traces her years struggling to have a child and her slow waking to the secrets that governments and institutions withheld from the women of her generation. The task for her—and for women who have shared her experience—has always been to believe herself into wholeness and to survive her losses and her illnesses until there is nothing left to fear. As always, Lawrence’s writing is filled with smart, gentle anger, sweet sadness and the most private sense of what is vital and important.
In Fear Itself, Lawrence’s deeply felt remembrances grant us an honest account of what it is to live in an unstable world. It is a truly personal account that sheds wide light on the world’s ongoing nuclear decisions.

Review
[A]timely testament to the importance of skepticism when it comes to governmental reassurances vividly hypnotic.” The Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel
This is a powerful book . . . wry at times, yet unflinching when faced with complex, often tragic revelations. The story is one we should all know if we are to chart a better future for those who come after us.
Susan Griffin, author, A Chorus of Stones, The Private Life of War
Candida Lawrence's valuable story, which begins in her childhood, is frightening in its detailed information about the American lives (old & unborn) lost to the secret keepers of the national & corporate nuclear industries.” Grace Paley
