“‘At the point when one of us comes clean, he makes it simpler for us all to hold nothing back from our own agony and that of others.’ That’s eventually what Beautiful Boy is about: truth and recuperating.” — Mary Pipher, creator of Reviving Ophelia

What had befallen my wonderful kid? To our family? What did I foul up? Those are the tweaking addresses that spooky David Sheff’s excursion through his child Nic’s dependence on drugs and provisional strides toward recuperation. Before Nic got dependent on precious stone meth, he was a beguiling kid, upbeat and amusing, a varsity competitor and respect understudy venerated by his two more youthful kin. After meth, he was a trembling apparition who lied, took, and lived in the city. David Sheff follows the principal cautioning signs: the forswearing, the three a.m. calls—is it Nic? the police? the clinic? His distraction with Nic turned into a habit in itself. In any case, as a writer, he instinctually examined each treatment that may spare his child. Furthermore, he would not abandon Nic.
