It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?

I would pass on this one

Why not develop what could have been a great story line without an agenda?!? This one is entirely insulting to the educated reader. Politically motivated …the story was an afterthought. Extremely disappointed!

When Alan Maimon got the assignment in 2000 to report on life in rural Eastern Kentucky, his editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal told him to cover the region "like a foreign correspondent would." And indeed, when Maimon arrived in Hazard, Kentucky, fresh off a reporting stint for the New York Times's Berlin bureau, he felt every bit the outsider. He had landed in a place in the vice grip of ecological devastation and a corporate-made opioid epidemic - a place where vote-buying and drug-motivated political assassinations were the order of the day.

I had high hopes for this book…. I was excited to hear from someone who I understood had firsthand knowledge and firsthand long term life experience of a beautiful part of my beloved state to which many Kentuckians are not exposed. Unfortunately, the “journalist” who was “reporting” on the social and political climate of the area, was so clouded by his own personal far left leaning bias that I chose not to finish the book. The book is a tragedy for the area that so needs an unbiased perspective to help garner the attention of the rest of the proud citizens of this great Commonwealth. The commitment of the Appalachians to the traditions of our country’s forefathers should be a challenge to all Americans who love God and Country.
