NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An acclaimed journalist tries to understand how she escaped her small town in Arkansas while her brilliant friend could not, and, in the process, illuminates the unemployment, drug abuse, sexism, and evangelicalism killing poor, rural white women all over America.

“[A] clear-eyed and tender debut . . . This book is as much the author’s story as a piece of reportage.”—The Wall Street Journal

Growing up gifted and working-class poor in the foothills of the Ozarks, Monica and Darci became fast friends. The girls bonded over a shared love of reading and learning, even as they navigated the challenges of their tumultuous family lives and declining town—broken marriages, alcohol abuse, and shuttered stores and factories. They pored over the giant map in their middle-school classroom, tracing their fingers over the world that awaited them, vowing to escape. In the end, Monica left Clinton for college and fulfilled her dreams, but Darci, along with many in their circle of friends, did not.

Years later, working as a journalist covering poverty, Potts discovered what she already intuitively knew about the women in Arkansas: Their life expectancy had dropped steeply—the sharpest such fall in a century. This decline has been attributed to “deaths of despair”—suicide, alcoholism, and drug overdoses—but Potts knew their causes were too complex to identify in a sociological study. She had grown up with these women, and when she saw Darci again, she found that her childhood friend—addicted to drugs, often homeless, a single mother—was now on track to becoming a statistic.

In this gripping narrative, Potts deftly pinpoints the choices that sent her and Darci on such different paths and then widens the lens to explain why those choices are so limited. The Forgotten Girls is a profound, compassionate look at a population in trouble, and a uniquely personal account of the way larger forces, such as inheritance, education, religion, and politics, shape individual lives.

Very easy to swallow and works great
First off, the size of the tablet is so small and extremely easy to swallow. This is the second time that I've bought this multi-vitamin because it's particularly tailored for women's needs. Would buy again without hesitation and highly recommend this product.

Tasteless and dissolves easily
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I love this product! I have not experienced any after taste. Product is tasteless and blends easily with a few shakes or a minute in blender. I have tried other Collagen powders and this one is my favorite one.

Pain relief
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I have used Bromelian for 15 years, I have found it the best anti-inflammatory for me. It is quick to feel the results, (overnight) and quick stop when, not taking it any longer. Great product

My daughter’s tender tummy appreciates these
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I’m not sure what else she likes about these, but she’s always had tummy troubles and is gluten-free with extra allergies etc. I think they helped with something other than her tummy (sorry I can’t be more specific, I hate when people do that but I don’t know what it was. I’ll try to ask her.). She asked me for more of these and I was happy to get them for her!
