Requests:  0 Summary:  "Growing up gifted and poor in small-town Arkansas, Monica and Darci became fast friends. The girls bonded over a shared love of reading and learning, even as they navigated the challenges of their declining town and tumultuous family lives--broken marriages, alcohol abuse, and shuttered stores and factories. They pored over the giant map in their middle school classroom, tracing their fingers over the world that awaited them, vowing to escape. In the end, Monica got out, but Darci, along with the rest of their circle of friends, did not. Years later, working as a journalist covering poverty, Monica discovered what she already intuitively knew about the women in Arkansas: Their life expectancy had steeply declined--the sharpest such fall in a century. Most painfully, her once talented and ambitious best friend was now a single mother of two, addicted to meth and prescription drugs, jobless and nearly homeless. What had happened in the years since Monica had left? Why had she escaped while Darci hurtled toward what Monica fears will be a tragic end? What was killing poor white women--and would Darci survive her own life?"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 818.603 Potts Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 818.603 Potts Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 818.603 Potts Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 818.603 Potts Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList
