In November 2013, Rose Andersen's younger sister Sarah died of an overdose in the bathroom of her boyfriend's home in a small town with one of the highest rates of opioid use in the state. Like too many of her generation, she had become addicted to heroin. Sarah was 24 years old. To imagine her way into Sarah's life and her choices, Rose revisits their volatile childhood, marked by their stepfather's omnipresent rage. As the dysfunction comes into focus, so does a broader picture of the opioid crisis and the drug rehabilitation industry in small towns across America. And when Rose learns from the coroner that Sarah's cause of death was a methamphetamine overdose, the story takes a wildly unexpected turn. As Andersen sifts through her sister's last days, we come to recognize the contours of grief and its aftermath: the psychic shattering which can turn to anger, the pursuit of ever an ever-elusive verdict, and the intensely personal rites of imagination and art needed to actually move on. Reminiscent of Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich's The Fact of a Body, Maggie Nelson's Jane: A Murder, and Lacy M. Johnson's The Other Side, Andersen's debut is a potent, profoundly original journey into and out of loss"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Andersen, Rose. 650 0 $a Drug addicts $x Family relationships $z United States. 650 0 $a Heroin abuse $z United States. 650 0 $a Sisters $z United States. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210508010103.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011610.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20210114020354.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20201103012635.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20201003011049.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20200903013259.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200902012409.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200721011533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=883D4B98CB1711EAB8194B3197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
