About this ebook
Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy: Conversation Starters
Dopesick by Beth Macy takes a look at the central point of the opioid crisis in the United States. Opioid addiction has been a struggle for Americans for over twenty years. Macy takes the reader through the history of the opioid addiction crisis. She tells the stories of Americans whose lives have been greatly affected by prescription painkillers. These people range from high school football players and cheerleaders from upper-class families to the poor farmers trading their livestock for drugs. The opioid crisis seems to be the one thing that unites Americans no matter where they located or which social class they belong to.
Dopesick became a bestseller for The New York Times immediately after its release in 2018. The New York Times called the book a “harrowing” and “deeply compassionate” look at the national opioid emergency.
