Summary of Beautiful Boy
SellWave Audio
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In Beautiful Boy, David Sheff tells the heartrending story of his son Nic’s battle with crystal meth addiction and the devastating impact it had on their family. What had happened to his beautiful boy? What went wrong? These are the gut-wrenching questions that consumed David as he watched his vibrant, joyful son—a varsity athlete, honor student, and beloved brother—transform into a hollow shell, a trembling addict who lied, stole, and lived on the streets.
David’s journey begins with the first signs of trouble—the denial, the sleepless nights, the endless 3 a.m. phone calls wondering if it was Nic, the police, or the hospital on the other end. His preoccupation with Nic’s addiction became an addiction in itself, but as a journalist, David tirelessly researched every possible treatment that might save his son. He refused to give up, no matter how many times Nic relapsed.
Beautiful Boy is a raw, emotional chronicle of the struggles faced by families battling addiction, offering a powerful, personal account of the pain, perseverance, and hope that comes with trying to save a loved one from the grip of substance abuse. David Sheff’s relentless love and determination shine through, reminding us that, even in the darkest times, there is always hope for recovery.
