Maine Calling: New Book by Kerri Arsenault Tells the Tale of A Hometown Supported & Destroyed By Mill

MAINE PUBLIC • January 12, 2021

In her new book, “Mill Town,” Maine author Kerri Arsenault documents how her childhood in a typical Maine mill town illustrates the plight of the working class, and the hazards brought on by the very entities that support these working-class families. The book examines the mixed feelings people have for places they call home. Guests: Kerri Arsenault, author, “Mill Town: Reckoning with What Remains;” and Richard Clapp, epidemiologist with more than 40 years experience in public health practice, teaching and consulting.
