Synopsis
What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family?What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff 's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets.David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3 A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs.His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help., What had happened to my beautiful boy?

I asked the seller if He would consider giving the sale pice again. He did just that. It came perfectly wrapped and secure. I would definitely buy again. i would definitely buy again .

    I'm so happy to have found this rare gem in your selection. It was wrapped carefully and arrived safely in a few days. The cookbook was impeccably described and all the pics showed a great amount of details. Considering how few of these are around the price was very reasonable. Thank you for the great service, I'm looking forward to finding more delightful treasures!

  • A Sad and Realistic Story Addiction Within A Family

    This is a sad but realistic story about a family's struggle with a child's addiction. You won't be able to put it down once you start reading it. It's been getting more attention because of the movie out now. I read it years ago, but bought it for someone else. I ordered and started reading the son's book which is just as compelling.

  • Beautiful Boy: a fathers journey through his sons addiction.

    Heart wrenching, especially if you have experienced it in your own family but it helps to understand what addiction is and how it affects the person and the family. There is always hope but no guarantee for recovery!
