Stories That Bind Us: A Conversation With Beth Macy
Melody Barnes, Beth Macy
Join Beth Macy, the acclaimed author of Dopesick, for a powerful conversation about the forces shaping America’s rural and urban communities—and the stories that bind us. Drawing from her forthcoming memoir, Paper Girl, which traces her journey from a small Ohio town to the national stage, Macy explores how economic upheaval, cultural tensions, and political polarization have reshaped not only her hometown but the country as a whole—and invites us to reckon with the divides that challenge our shared future.
