Description
A raw and unflinching memoir of addiction and recovery, this New York Times bestseller chronicles one young man's descent into methamphetamine and heroin abuse, beginning with his first drink at age eleven and spiraling through years of escalating drug use. Nic Sheff holds nothing back as he recounts the mental and physical devastation of a violent relapse during a California summer, capturing the internal war between his desire to quit and the grip of addiction. With brutal honesty and compelling prose, he paints an intimate portrait of a person fractured by his past, estranged from his family, and battling both his demons and himself. Yet beneath the harrowing details lies a powerful message of hope and the possibility of redemption. This is the true story that inspired the acclaimed film Beautiful Boy, offering readers an unforgettable look at the reality of addiction and the long road back to recovery.
