The Least of Us by Sam Quinones is an insightful follow up to his previous book, Dreamland. Whereas the previous book focused on opium and heroin, this book explores how fentanyl and methamphetamine have spread and destroyed lives throughout the United States. Through personal stories, Quinones explains how fentanyl was developed and spread. He also details different ways in which communities have addressed this crisis. Recognizing that it will take time and various methods, Quinones reminds us that recovery may not mean abstinence forever but means positive change. This is an important book for anyone who wants insight into the drug issues plaguing the country and the job of recovery facing all of us.
