Missouri native, and author of Winter’s Bone, Daniel Woodrell, released the best-selling novel to the world in 2006. Winter’s Bone is the story of a young girl, Ree Dolly, who goes in search of her missing, drug-cooking father in order to keep the family home from being taken as collateral. Winter’s Bone is a depiction of the role methamphetamine plays in the deterioration of, not only a single person, but a family as well. The consequences of the drug have physical, psychological and moral effects on the user. Woodrell is exposing the drug to the reader as, not only a harmful substance, but a way of life for communities in the Missouri Ozarks. The drug is both a lifeline and curse for all lives affected by it’s presence.
