One of my rare non fiction reads, FULL BODY BURDEN was exactly what I look for in the genre: informative, touching, and anxiety producing.  This book is like Erin Brokovitch plus A Few Good Men, but it all happened.  The author, Kristen Iversen, lived a life fraught with conflict, most notably, the ghost of conflicts between others- her parents, the government and activists.  All her observation and research culminated in this memoir, a book about what seems like multiple lives, but incredibly, is all hers.
