This book will save a lot of lives and heal a lot of hearts.” — Anne Lamott “‘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.’ That’s ultimately what Beautiful Boy is about: truth and healing.” — Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia 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 addiction to drugs 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. 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 he refused to give up on Nic. “Filled with compelling anecdotes and important insights . . . An eye-opening memoir.” — Washington Post Review: A very powerful and informative book!! - I highly recommend this book. This is an excellent and very informative book to read, especially for a parent who is experiencing a similar experience. The statistics provided within the book are also helpful too but it's the emotion and very heartfelt personal content of a father going above and beyond to help his son that makes this book an extremely good but also at times, heartbreaking read. Huge amounts of credit to the author. Review: An uncomfortable book to read ..... Full of facts and insight about substance abuse ....and Family... - The last book as medically detailed and sad as this I read was The Radium Girls ... This story of a talented, golden child, athletic, clever, dearly loved but addicted, told from his father's perspective is compelling searching and moving in the extreme. I recently did an online university course called understanding drugs and addiction and I am glad I did as this helped me with the medical implications and details threaded through this book which are explained and explored in Great detail and depth as David Sheff seeks to understand what is happening to his much loved son, mentally physically and emotionally. Also the impact on his family immediate and scattered and his heartbreak as he seems to understand and wonder if it is his fault. Lots of questions, lots of disturbing statistics and scenes. It is multi layered and graphic and disturbing and not an easy book to read. No quick fixes, no answers, no miracles on this journey, but hope and love in a world that often reads as idyllic a place for children to be reared but pernicious drugs easily accessed hover as temptation in paradise. It's a disturbing and challenging read as The Radium Girls was I found. I am not sure if I exactly enjoyed reading it, I stopped and started A few times but it was certainly moving and compelling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 570,934 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 19 in Alcohol & Drug Abuse Biographies 824 in Fatherhood (Books) 5,573 in Biographies about Medical, Legal & Social Sciences | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 8,000 Reviews | ## Images ![Beautiful Boy: (Tie-In): A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818APcO37eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very powerful and informative book!! *by M***. on 11 November 2025* I highly recommend this book.

Huge amounts of credit to the author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An uncomfortable book to read ..... Full of facts and insight about substance abuse ....and Family... *by J***P on 11 February 2019* The last book as medically detailed and sad as this I read was The Radium Girls ... This story of a talented, golden child, athletic, clever, dearly loved but addicted, told from his father's perspective is compelling searching and moving in the extreme.

I am not sure if I exactly enjoyed reading it, I stopped and started A few times but it was certainly moving and compelling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone should read! *by E***M on 16 January 2019* An incredibly sad, harrowing and depressing book to read, but also an absolutely essential read. This is a very honest and raw account of the manner in which lives are turned upside down, ruined to some extent, and the depths of despair that accompany this when a member of the family becomes a drug addict with no reasoning. I have some awareness of drugs, but not to this extent and it both scared and educated me. Thank you David for being so honest and truthful and for having the strength to look at yourself so bravely and share with us all. I have no doubt that the prayers were what was needed and I am so heartened that soul played a huge role in how the story unfolded and continues to unfold. There is hope. ## Frequently Bought Together - Beautiful Boy (tie-In): A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction - Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines - We All Fall Down: Living with Addiction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/83649763-beautiful-boy-tie-in-a-fathers-journey-through-his-sons](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/83649763-beautiful-boy-tie-in-a-fathers-journey-through-his-sons) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
