Description
A shocking investigation into America's opioid crisis reveals the disturbing truth behind a nation's addiction to prescription drugs. Beth Macy's powerful story explains how a large corporation, Purdue, encouraged small town doctors to prescribe OxyContin, hiding its dangerously addictive nature while many used it as an escape from pain and financial struggles. The author tries to answer a grieving mother's question - why her only son died - and comes away with a harrowing tale of greed and need. This book is a deeply needed look into the troubled soul of America, shedding light on the complex issues surrounding addiction and the pharmaceutical industry.
