"This story explores the history of the Burkholder and Martin families who settled in the Weaverland Valley (Lancaster Co., Pa.) along the Conestoga River in the early 1700s. It is filled with 'voices from the past' whose words are especially meaningful as they are of a personal nature, coming from an ancestor of a person's lineage. Many landmarks and events that influenced these early families are explored and explained in a community where everyone knew everyone else." [from Amazon.com]

What Mark Stephens tries to do in Three Mile Island is to stick purely to the facts of what went down during the events. Stephens tries to cast a wide net and cover all the bases of the event, focusing heavily during the week that the meltdown almost happened. He covers the power plant, the workers, the town, the nearby cities, the government administrations, and most importantly, the actual physics behind what was causing the problem.
