Описание: Examines the complexity and the humanity of the opioid epidemic America’s opioid epidemic continues to ravage families and communities, despite intense media coverage, federal legislation, criminal prosecutions, and harm reduction efforts to prevent overdose deaths. More than 450,000 Americans have died from opioid overdoses since the late 1990s. In Opioid Reckoning, Amy C. Sullivan explores the complexity of the crisis through firsthand accounts of people grappling with the reverberating effects of stigma, treatment, and recovery. Nearly everyone in the United States has been touched in some way by the opioid epidemic, including the author and her family. Sullivan uses her own story as a launching point to learn how the opioid epidemic challenged longstanding recovery protocols in Minnesota, a state internationally recognized for pioneering addiction treatment. By centering the voices of many people who have experienced opioid use, treatment, recovery, and loss, Sullivan exposes the devastating effects of a one-size-fits-all approach toward treatment of opioid dependency. Taking a clear-eyed, nonjudgmental perspective of every aspect of these issues-drug use, parenting, harm reduction, medication, abstinence, and stigma-Opioid Reckoning questions current treatment models, healthcare inequities, and the criminal justice system. Sullivan also imagines a future where anyone suffering an opioid-use disorder has access to the individualized care, without judgment, available to those with other health problems. Opioid Reckoning presents a captivating look at how the state that invented “rehab” addresses the challenges of the opioid epidemic and its overdose deaths while also taking readers into the intimate lives of families, medical and social work professionals, grassroots activists, and many others impacted by the crisis who contribute their insights and potential solutions. In sharing these stories and chronicling their lessons, Sullivan offers a path forward that cultivates empathy, love, and hope for anyone affected by chaotic drug use and its harms.

Описание:
"Before my grandmother, there was Anna."
So begins the true story of a family secret, a trunkful of hidden letters, and a love story buried for almost a century.
In 1894 Roy and Anna graduated from high school and begin writing hundreds of love letters to each other until 1898, when Anna died, suddenly and tragically. Roy was devastated. Even after he married, he grieved every year on the anniversary of Anna's death. The letters lay hidden for decades until his granddaughter - the author - brought them out of the shadows.
And what letters they are - lyrical, passionate, full of utter trust and faith in each other. Roy is a hopeless romantic, struggling with his studies in college, but secretly longing to be a writer or go on the stage. Anna is a studious bookworm - fierce, headstrong, driven - determined to become a teacher in a time when women are beginning to rage against tradition. While Roy hoists 100-pound bags of flour and kills rats with his bare hands in his father's mill, Anna bores through teacher's college, forges off alone to the frozen north for her first full-time teaching job, and battles recurring illness. Their lives become entwined with the famous Mayo brothers in the shadow of the rising Mayo Clinic.
The letters are laced with history, social revolution, and political turmoil in a time of stunning change. And Roy and Anna were voracious readers - their spirited love of books and the greatest authors of their time spills out across the pages.
So who was Anna - this woman Roy loved so deeply that he kept and hid all their letters and grieved for her every year, even after his 63-year marriage to someone else?
This is Anna and Roy's story - a snapshot in time in the waning days of the Gilded Age; a love story for the ages. In Anna's words: "We will write as often as we must, for we are never going to be tired of each other if we live a thousand years."
