The #1 New York Times best-selling addiction memoir and story of a father's love: “A brilliant, harrowing, heartbreaking, fascinating story, full of beautiful moments and hard-won wisdom. This book will save a lot of lives and heal a lot of hearts.”—Anne Lamott
What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted David Sheff’s journey through his son Nic’s addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery.
Before Nic 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, in this true story of addiction, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls—is it Nic? the police? the hospital? His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every form of rehab and treatment that might save his son. And he refused to give up on Nic.
Now a Major Motion Picture Starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet.
With a new Afterword from the author.
This unflinching memoir, a testament to a father’s love, is a vital read for any family touched by the reality of drug abuse and recovery:

- Parenting an Addict: Experience the endless cycle of denial, three a.m. phone calls, and the all-consuming search for rehab and treatment options that might save a child.
- A Heartbreaking Family Story: More than just a story of addiction, this is an unforgettable portrait of a family that finds itself in a battle for survival, healing, and hope.
