“An impassioned story of anti-fracking activism.”
—Kirkus Reviews

"This book will make you feel alive. Land Marks puts the reader on the gritty front lines of activism as Rebecca Walton, Lesert’s unforgettable protagonist, and a committed band of activists risk it all to battle fracking on Michigan soil. The final pages had me weeping with joy."
—Katy Yocom, author of Three Ways to Disappear, winner of the Siskiyou Prize for Environmental Literature

"Land Marks, Maryann Lesert’s savvy, mindful, and dramatic novel of intergenerational education and place defense, is writing as nonviolent direct action, principled and powerful."
—Stephanie Mills, author of Tough Little Beauties and In Service of the Wild

"Through complicated characters and a compelling fictional narrative, Lesert gives readers a taste of the dedication and commitment of real people and groups working to protect the Great Lakes from the ravages of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. . . . For tragically, this book is even more timely today than when it was selected as a 2021 Finalist for the Prism Prize for Climate Literature."
—Gail Collins-Ranadive, author of Dinosaur Dreaming, Our Climate Moment

"Land Marks is an important and powerful novel, and deserves its place in a growing literature of ecological resistance. Read it, and then act."
—Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame
