Paperback. Condition: Good. One shattered birthday party. Two teenage victims. A city drowning in fentanyl. Social worker Georgia Thayer (The Orchid Tattoo) has spent her career fighting for the vulnerable, but nothing could prepare her for being a foster mom to Tessa-a teenager haunted by her traumatic past. Determined to give her a normal life, Georgia's efforts crumble when a neighborhood party spirals into disaster, leaving one girl fighting for her life while another disappears from the front yard of her family's home.

Far from being a late 20th-century import (along with capitalist economics) from Europe, Japan and the United States, this tradition of dissent is deeply embedded in the experience of China's revolutionary movements. This book calls into question many of the usual beliefs about the relation between democracy and communism, at least in the Chinese case, which may now be seen to depart from the Soviet model in yet another crucial respect.…
