Tess was a 28-year-old new mother, a former honor roll student, and high school basketball player from suburban Roanoke, Virginia, a place ravaged by the national opioid crisis. The New York Times best-selling author Beth Macy chronicled Tess and her mom, Patricia, through Tess's harrowing, years-long battle to recover from heroin addiction in her award-winning book, Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America. But just as Tess was on the brink of returning to a normal life with her young son, she was brutally murdered.Finding Tess: A Mother’s Search for Answers in a Dopesick America is a psychosocial autopsy of sorts, not just a retracing of Tess’s final steps on the streets of Las Vegas, but also a dissection of what went wrong during the six-year span of her opioid addiction, as well as the changes inspired by her story. This exclusive audio documentary—a coda to Dopesick—features interviews with Tess, her family, and many of those who tried to help her along the way, as well as the systems and the people who failed her. By tracing Tess’s final steps as she tried so hard to make her way back to Virginia—and to her son—Finding Tess illuminates a journey shared by too many of the 2.6 million Americans battling opioid addiction, offering lessons from a cast of unlikely heroes and, along with them, hope.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
