Mill Town and The Hospital by Brian Alexander was selected by the Junior Library Guild for their book group.

The Hospital takes readers into the world of American sickness in a way no book has done before. Americans are dying sooner, and living in poorer health. By immersing the reader in the fight of one hospital to continue serving its community, and the fight of patients who walk, or are carried, through its doors to survive the economic and political forces arrayed against them, Alexander strips away manufactured complexity and wonky debates to expose the human costs of the war being waged on Americans by the medical industry, by politicians, by big business.
