Beautiful boy : a father's journey through his son's addiction / David Sheff.

"David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from his parent's point of view; a real-time chronicle of a son's shocking descent into substance abuse and his gradual emergence into hope [...] Crystal meth is acknowledged to be the world's most addictive and dangerous drug, wreaking permanent brain damage faster than any other available narcotic. But Nic's story is not just about meth. His story, and his father's, is that of any family struggling to support an addict."--From back cover.
