Beautiful Boy - David Sheff

An amazing book by a father about his son's addiction to methamphetamine. I picked it up out of professional interest as a substance abuse counselor, and I will be recommending it to clients in the future. I thought David Sheff did a fantastic job of explaining both addiction and what it's like to love someone with an addiction. Plus he's a great writer. Next I'm going to read his son Nic's book Tweak.
