Three mismatched roommates rescue a drug addict with an expired passport in this fast-paced activist novel set in 2002 in Portland, Oregon. Parts per Million is political. It's personal. It's reading for the resistance--and it's a powerful exploration of how an unlikely band of heroes subverts the status quo. "Parts Per Million is an ambitious first book: it's a thriller and a novel about a friendship in peril and it's a critique of protest culture and it's a love letter to those who are willing to earnestly fight for what they believe, even when it seems that everyone else has given up." -Paul Constant, The Seattle Review of Books
