Requests:  0 Summary:  Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, journalist Beth Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother's question -- why her only son died -- and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy parses how America embraced a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. The unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death. Through unsparing, yet deeply human portraits of the families and first responders struggling to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 362.293 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
