I just finished this. It's by David Sheff. It's a memoir of his struggle with his son's meth addiction. Very intense. His son has two books out now, one called "Tweak" which goes along with "Beautiful Boy" (one from his dad's point of view, one from his) and "We All Fall Down". I'm starting "Tweak" next.

I read Beautiful Boy a few years ago. LOVED it, and cried through most of it!

I haven't read his son's books. Maybe I'll check them out.

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

Read them. Good. BUT, I saw a documentary on the son & father. The son kept trying to get clean--I mean STAY clean...he can't seem to for very long. Very sad. i don't think he's clean today.
