Book Review -- Redhead by the Side of the Road

Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler
Book Review -- Redhead by the Side of the Road

Micah Mortimer is a single, middle-aged man whose life is governed by routine. He gets by managing a small apartment complex and as a self-employed computer tech. He runs daily, drives carefully as if someone is keeping score, has a chore for each day of the week, and seldom deviates from his predictable life. Then his lady friend announces she is at risk of eviction and a young man appears who claims to be Micah’s son. His routine is upset in a big way and he takes a hard look at his life and who he is. I’ve been reading Tyler for years and she never disappoints when it comes to the human condition.

This title is available to download from Overdrive/Libby in ebook and eaudio formats on the library website at www.churchillcountylibrary.org.

Carol Lloyd is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She thinks she might be turning into a hermit. And possibly enjoying it.

C Comment author: Carl C. HagenComment text: What are MFNs and PBMs ?? ............................ From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. 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 EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
