THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, STARRING STEVE CARELL AND BAFTA AND GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE TIMOTHEE CHALAMET.
“What happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong?” These are the heartbreaking questions that haunt every moment of David Sheff's journey toward his son Nic's recovery.
Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyful and funny, a talented athlete and a straight-A student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he became a trembling shadow who lied, stole, and lived on the streets.
With shocking candor, David Sheff traces the first subtle signs: the denial, the phone calls in the middle of the night (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the failed attempts at rehab. His obsession with Nic became an addiction of its own, and his pride and concern caused him immense cost. Yet, as a journalist, he researched every method of treatment that could save his son and refused to give up.
This story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's perspective—a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into addiction and the gradual emergence into hope.
“Beautiful Boy” is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional roller coaster of loving a child who seems beyond help.
Read the other side of Nic Sheff's bestselling memoir, “Tweak.”
