In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit - and her sister - before it's too late.

Bleak, frustrating, repetitive
Revisado: 11-29-20
Did not love the writing style. It was obviously a style choice, but “Kacey said” repeated 30 times a page got old very fast - especially with the way the narrator said her name, like it had an extra syllable.
Was very frustrated with Mickey’s character in the present: unlikeable, deeply insecure, making dumb choices, always thinking the worst had happened to her young son, even though she had a terrible babysitter for him.
I stuck with the whole book, however, and did find myself moved by the scenes portraying the opioid epidemic, and found the flashbacks to Mickey’s childhood fascinating.
Somewhat glad I stuck it out just to say I did but.... would not recommend.

The Buddhist approach to death can be of great benefit to people of all backgrounds - as has been demonstrated time and again in Joan Halifax's decades of work with the dying and their caregivers. Inspired by traditional Buddhist teachings, her work is a source of wisdom for all those who are charged with a dying person's care, facing their own death, or wishing to explore and contemplate the transformative power of the dying process.

A critical tool for the death experience
Revisado: 01-27-20
I recently listened and used this book in a loved one’s death and it was invaluable. Read this for both your growth as an individual and for the challenge of caring for a dying individual. Highly recommend.
