The Center of Everything: A Novel by Jamie Harrison

The Center of Everything: A Novel by Jamie Harrison

Polly lives in Livingston, Montana with her immediate and extended family. She helps in her husband’s restaurant and is also an editor. After a bicycle accident that results in a head injury causing short-term memory loss and migraines and the presumed drowning of Polly’s babysitter in a kayak accident on the Yellowstone River, a crime becomes apparent. Or does it? Polly has glimpses of events past and present but is unsure what are memories and what is imagined. She has little spells that leave her wondering if she is losing her mind. This novel is beautifully crafted language set amongst the stunning western landscape. A literary novel at its best.

This title is available in print and downloadable ebook through Overdrive/Libby. A reader guide is available on Harrison’s website at https://www.jamieharrisonbooks.com/ should your book club choose this title.

 

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She is glad to have good books to read on hot days.

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
