Alumni Book Recommendation

My April book recommendation is ready for your Amazon cart, or if like me, your next trip to Barnes & Noble to pick it up in person. Beth Macy’s “Dopesick” is a raw, investigative journalism masterpiece that exposes us, without a filter, to the darkness and despair of opioid addiction that has devastated rural communities and big cities alike for the past 25+ years. She takes us right into the heart of the problem, looking at it through the lives of people living through it (and some who don’t survive) across SW Virginia, Eastern KY, and West Virginia. There are some obvious demons but thankfully angels to report on as well. I’ll tell you, you can’t read this book without being affected by it.
