Phew! It took me a very long time to read this because it is such a heavy book. It is definitely well-researched and well-written. It felt like watching a movie. I did prefer the Poisonwood Bible, but would still recommend this to people interested in addiction, the opioid crisis, foster care, and growing up poor in rural America. I liked the ending. Do check the trigger warnings beforehand.
