    Incredibly important and relatable subject matter.In 2019, the Association of American Medical Colleges reported that 21 million Americans suffered from addiction. If readers haven’t personally battled addiction (or aren’t personally battling addiction), chances are, they know someone dear who is.

    Beautiful production treatment.The book will include French flaps and incorporate artwork selected by the editors.
