  • In this investigative non-fiction book, Patrick Radden Keefe reveals the role of the Sackler family in the prescription opioid epidemic that has decimated communities and families since the 1990s. Empire of Pain is an unflinching and horrifying account of how the Sacklers, aware of the drug's addictiveness, pushed Oxycontin through clever marketing to doctors, willful manipulation of the FDA approval process, lying about research, and demonizing those who became addicted. Linny and Nancy discuss the impact of the opioid crisis nationally and personally. Empire of Pain made the New York Times Readers' List of 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Nancy has begun giving copies of the book to family and friends in her personal quest to encourage everyone in America to read this book.
