In reply to susan. No, largely because they were divorced by the time he got in more heavily. Still, it's frightening. I hope your time in LA is all right. California is pretty scary right now. Stay safe!

I hadn’t heard about this one — but wow sounds like a wild ride … so the woman had no clue her husband was doing drugs? this book seems to give more perspective to the opioid crisis. I will look for it.
ps. I made it thru LAX much better than expected yesterday, woohoo! now I just need to survive the quarantine indoors …

In reply to Catherine. There's really nothing like good non-fic told well. Thanks for the Maddow mention, I'll add to the list.

In reply to Lauren O'Brien. It's wild that it's nonfiction. For whatever reason it's working for me right now. I'm listening to Rachel Maddow's Blowout and it's riveting.

I put this on hold through Libby as soon as you let me know how good it was. I think I’ll get it this week. Can’t wait to listen. It’s nice that you’ve found so much good nonfiction this year. Always a wonderful surprise!
