Raising Lazarus: Beth Macy
By The Mercantile Library
Beth Macy, Ohio native and New York Times bestselling author of Dopesick (inspiration for the Peabody Award-winning Hulu limited series) and Factory Man, joins us to discuss her brand-new book,
Raising Lazarus: Hope, Justice, and the Future of America’s Overdose Crisis
About Raising Lazarus:
Nearly a decade into the second wave of America’s overdose crisis, pharmaceutical companies have yet to answer for the harms they created. As pending court battles against opioid makers, distributors, and retailers drag on, addiction rates have soared to record-breaking levels during the COVID pandemic, illustrating the critical need for leadership, urgency, and change. Meanwhile, there is 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.
