In 2006, The Bangor Daily News reported abuse of prescription painkillers was on the rise in Maine. Medications like Vicodin and Oxycontin were steadily becoming the drug of choice for young people. One of those people was Becky Guptill, a young woman from an island called Vinalhaven, off the coast of Maine.
Becky’s addiction led her to do some things she would later regret—things she might always be remembered for in Vinalhaven. This is a story about finding forgiveness and acceptance in a small town.
