ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Beautiful Boy” by David Sheff is a poignant memoir that chronicles the author’s emotional journey as he grapples with his son Nic's struggle with methamphetamine addiction. Through vivid reflections, Sheff explores the intense love, guilt, and helplessness he feels as a father trying to save his son from the grips of addiction. The book delves into the cyclical nature of addiction and recovery, the impact of addiction on family dynamics, and the emotional toll it takes on those who love an addict. It is a raw and honest exploration of addiction’s devastating effect on a family.
