SUMMARY:UACC Book Discussion: Maggie Boylan / Dopesick
DESCRIPTION:10:00 am – 12:00 pm\nSaturday\, December 8th\nSanta Maria Community Services\n2312 Glenway Ave\, Cincinnati\, OH 45204BOOKS WE WILL DISCUSS: \nMichael Henson –\n“Maggie Boylan” \nBeth Macy\n“Dopesick: Dealers\, Doctors\, and the Drug Company that Addicted America” \nMAGGIE BOYLAN:\nSet in Appalachian Ohio amid an epidemic of prescription opiate abuse\, Michael Henson’s linked collection tells of a woman’s search for her own peculiar kind of redemption\, and brings the novel-in-stories form to new heights. Maggie Boylan is an addict\, thief\, liar\, and hustler. But she is also a woman of deep compassion and resilience. The stories follow Maggie as she spirals through her addictive process\, through the court system and treatment\, and into a shaky new beginning. \nIn these masterful stories\, we rarely occupy Maggie’s perspective\, but instead gain a multilayered portrait of a community as we see other people’s lives bump up against hers—and we witness her inserting herself into their spheres\, refusing to be rebuffed. The result is a prismatic view of a community fighting to stay upright against the headwinds of a drug epidemic: always on edge\, always human. \nDOPESICK:\nAn instant New York Times and indie bestseller\, Dopesick is the only book to fully chart the devastating opioid crisis in America: “a harrowing\, deeply compassionate dispatch from the heart of a national emergency” (New York Times) from a bestselling author and journalist who has lived through it\nIn this masterful work\, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of America’s twenty-plus year struggle with opioid addiction. From distressed small communities in Central Appalachia to wealthy suburbs; from disparate cities to once-idyllic farm towns; it’s a heartbreaking trajectory that illustrates how this national crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.
