このコンテンツについて
As the opioid crisis continues to impact teens across the country, award-winning author and former librarian Mindy McGinnis talks about why she wrote Heroine, a brutally honest novel about a student athlete's descent into addiction and why it’s been banned in schools.
In this interview, she opens up about her own childhood reading habits, the power of dark stories, and what it means to write books that some adults try to take off shelves. Heroine isn’t about glorifying drug use - it’s about survival, empathy, and what happens when we tell the truth.
