Book Review — Red at the Bone
by Carol Lloyd —  Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson This story, set in 2001, opens with 16 year-old Melody’s coming out party. Her mother never had a party like this and the mother-daughter relationship is strained for a variety of reasons. And so begins the tale of these 3 generations as they weave their way through the intricacies of life. The Tulsa Race Massacre and 9/11 profoundly affect the family as does gentrification, education, and parenthood. Through each character’s story universal truths are revealed. Truths about love, friendship, and how life is lived. There is a lot of living packed into this little book and it is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Carol Lloyd is the Churchill County librarian and has been on great adventures during most of January.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
