Beautiful boy: a father's journey through his son's addiction

Beautiful boy: a father's journey through his son's addiction/ David Sheff 325 pg.

This book tells of the intelligent, young kid with a great future who becomes a horrible addict who steals from his family and friends (even his little brother who had saved $8) and almost kills himself. This scenario replays itself as he goes through rehab then relapses over and over again. His dad tells the story and tells of his heartache and guilt...what did he do wrong to make his son this way? Nic (the son) has his own memoir out telling the story from his perspective. Maybe after a few lighter books I'll try that one. - Christa
