Kelly McMasters' memoir Welcome to Shirley: A Memoir from an Atomic Town got a shout-out from O, the Oprah Magazine: "[Kelly] also pulls off a small miracle in the telling, making rundown, unbeautiful Shirley a place of dignity, a place of heroic people and stubborn fighters, a place you'd be proud to call home."

You can also watch Kelly on the telly (sorry) in an interview on the CW11 Morning News.
