Raising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America's Overdose Crisis

The book "Dopesick" by Beth Macy is a gripping, necessary, and deeply humane follow-up to her New York Times bestseller.

It tells the story of everyday heroes fighting to stem the tide of drug overdose in communities left to fend for themselves, and of activists and relatives of the dead still struggling for accountability in America's courts.

The book provides a character-driven emotional core as only Beth Macy can, taking readers into the country's hardest hit places to witness the devastating personal costs that one-third of America's families are now being forced to shoulder.

With scant consensus between law enforcement and medical leaders, nor an understanding of how to truly scale the programs that are out there, working at the ragged edge of capacity and actually saving lives, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the opioid crisis and its impact on American society.
