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 methamphetamine addiction 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, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. As a father grappling with his son's drug abuse, 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 treatment that might save his son. And in this unforgettable family memoir, he refused to give up on Nic. "'When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our own pain and that of others.'

Zustand: As New. : En 'Beautiful Boy', David Sheff narra su desgarrador viaje a través de la adicción de su hijo Nic a las drogas y sus vacilantes pasos hacia la recuperación. Antes de que Nic se volviera adicto a la metanfetamina, era un chico encantador, alegre y divertido, un atleta estrella y un estudiante de honor adorado por sus dos hermanos menores. Después de la metanfetamina, era un espectro tembloroso que mentía, robaba y vivía en las calles. David Sheff rastrea las primeras señales de advertencia: la negación, las llamadas telefónicas a las tres de la mañana, las clínicas de rehabilitación. Su preocupación por Nic se convirtió en una adicción en sí misma, pero como periodista, investigó instintivamente cada tratamiento que pudiera salvar a su hijo y se negó a rendirse con él. 'Beautiful Boy' es una memoria ferozmente sincera que aporta inmediatez a la montaña rusa emocional de amar a un niño que parece estar más allá de la ayuda.
