Beautiful Boy
David Sheff
The author, David Sheff, exposes his personal life and his families' life in order to tell his story.
The book chronicled the author's son, Nic, from childhood through adolescence into adulthood. It is an emotional book that is filled with all of the guilt and doubt that a loved one feels when trying to deal with the trauma of watching your child slowly killing themselves through a myriad of drugs. In this case-primarily methamphetamine. This book goes into great detail and uncovers the lies, chaos, and criminal behavior of addiction.
The author examines his role and the impacts on his family. The book is emotional and heartfelt. In the end, it is about accepting that you can't control others including those you love.
