In November 2013, Rose Andersen's 24-year-old sister Sarah died of an overdose in the bathroom of her boyfriend's home. In this memoir, Rose revisits their volatile childhood, the opioid crisis that plagued their small town, and a suspicious coroner's report that suggests Sarah's death might have involved foul play.
What The Reviewers Say
... will be heart-rending for anyone to read, though I can’t imagine anyone’s heart will be rent in quite the same way addicts’ will.
Rose’s beautifully painful retracing of these events, of her sister’s life and death, in an attempt to untangle this web and reconcile the loss of a loved one.
Andersen has done her research on opioids.
... poignant and distressing.
