Produktbeschreibung
Attorney Rachel Kahn, seeking a new life, takes her middle name, Noa, as her first name. In her mid-thirties, she leaves private practice in New York to work at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. on halting the illegal opioid trade. Working with Tony Palmer, a colleague from the CDC in Atlanta, she helps track drug-dealers in San Francisco and discovers new approaches in Seattle and Vancouver to confronting addiction, leading her to introducing harm reduction practices on Indian reservations where drug abuse is rampant. Noa's journey takes her from the war on drugs to harm reduction and eventually to drug legalization. Both Noa and Tony deal with family loss from illegal drugs. Their efforts to heal their families, as well as to assist abusers, result in a bond that evolves into love.
