Summary of David Sheff's Beautiful Boy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was enraptured by my son, Nic, when he was born in July 1982. I willingly forsook sleep, soothed his crying, and sang him lullabies. I was among the first generation of self-conscious parents.

#2 We visit Train Town in nearby Sonoma, where Nic conducts a steam locomotive past miniature barns and windmills. We travel to Yosemite National Park and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

#3 When we divorce, our son is hit hard. We divide the china and the art, and our young son is sent to live with each of us. It becomes clear that joint custody is the best approach, but the lawyers we hire charge more than two hundred dollars an hour and require five- to ten-thousand-dollar retainers.

#4 I would spend the school year with Nic in San Francisco, and he would spend holidays and summers with me in Southern California. I would have him with me for the day-to-day of the school year, but what would Christmas be like without him.
