I started reading this book called Death in Mud Lick, by Eric Eyre, who won the Pulitzer at the Charleston Gazette for his reporting on the thousands of pills being funneled into Kermit, WV, a town of ~400 people.
The daughter goes on to be the one who instigates the lawsuits against the pill distributors like a fucking hero, after one of her brothers OD's and dies.
And then one of her other siblings grows up to be a firefighter like his dad... in the 2016 floods, he and his crew go to Rainelle (hometown of one Scott McClanahan and where a bunch of people died) and saves a bunch of people.
And then a few years later, he OD's and dies.
I hate opioids! I hate everyone who contributed to this problem!
The Mingo Messenger is a great name for a newspaper.
