Met Beth Macy, author of Dopesick

I saw many friends tonight at a book signing event and it was a pleasure to hear Beth Macy, author of Dopesick tell the story behind the writing of her book. Seeing a female writer from Virginia do well is inspiring.

I handed out Diary of Broken Mind book marks. It wasn’t a case of me poaching her customers as these attendees had already bought the book. And they needed a bookmark to keep their place, right?

  1. How great you got to meet her! I’ve read Dopesick. It’s an incredible book. Fascinating while being so very sad at the same time. I love that you handed out bookmarks. ❤️
