Soon to be a Hulu Original Series

Journalist Beth Macy's definitive account of America's opioid
epidemic "masterfully interlaces stories of communities in crisis with dark histories of corporate greed and regulatory indifference" (New York Times) -- from the boardroom to the courtroom and into the living rooms of Americans. In this extraordinary work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades. From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.

Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy sets out to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a gripping, unputdownable story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy investigates the powerful forces that led America's doctors and patients to embrace a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same communities featured in her bestselling book Factory Man, 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, compelling, and unforgettably humane portraits of families and first responders determined to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows that one thing uniting Americans across geographic, partisan, and class lines is opioid drug abuse. But even in the midst of twin crises in drug abuse and healthcare, Macy finds reason to hope and ample signs of the spirit and tenacity that are helping the countless ordinary people ensnared by addiction build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

"An impressive feat of journalism, monumental in scope and urgent in its implications." -- Jennifer Latson, The Boston Globe

Bought eons ago, still holding up.
Size: 9*3*2 Inches, Color: Grey(4PCS)
Easy to clean, sturdy, and there are little footies on the bottom (as long as you're not like me and accidentally wash them off). Fits well, works well, as we use them for sorting out utensils and keeping drawer gunk off of them.

Helps to be organized!
Size: 12*3*2 Inches, Color: Black(2PCS)
It helped me to get so organized! Wonderful product! I have always been a very organized person to the point of having OCD. These organizers have been a godsend. They are pretty long probably 12 in and probably 2 in wide. I fit pens, my stapler, rulers, etc in them. They fit perfectly into my top desk drawer. Such a difference instead of throwing your items haphazardly in your drawer. Very sturdy but thin. Made of metal so durable. Very easy to clean with a wipe if necessary. Not that expensive at all. Comes with 2 holders. Such a helpful product. Highly recommend!

Good quality
Size: 9*3*2 Inches, Color: Grey(2PCS)
They are good quality, no signs of rusting or flaking, & are built very sturdy. The measurements are a little inaccurate due to the tapered edges from bottom to top, so it may not fit as expected which happened in my case. The attachment edges don’t pair to other brands of organizers well so don’t expect them to stay attached. Nonetheless, worth the money for its need.
