David Sheff's work has appeared in the New York Times, Outside, Rolling Stone, Wired, Fortuneand elsewhere. His piece for the New York Times Magazine, "My Addicted Son", received an award from the American Psychological Association for "Outstanding Contribution to Advancing the Understanding of Addiction".
'Both takes on this story are riveting, brilliantly written,
thoughtful, searingly honest and equally essential. They should be
mandatory reading for every teenager and every parent of one.'
*Daily Mail*
'My generation experimented with drugs and, now that we are
parents, we're caught off guard: we never contemplated having
to face what David Sheff has faced. He writes with candour, courage
and grace of his family's harrowing – and sadly not atypical –
story. Beautiful Boy is an important book. It is moving,
timely and startlingly beautiful.'
*Sir Richard Branson, chairman, Virgin Group*
'Those of us who love an addict – or are addicts ourselves
– will find Beautiful Boy a revelation. David Sheff knows
all too well what must be endured with faith, and his extraordinary
book describes it better than anything else I've read. While
painfully candid, Beautiful Boy is equally optimistic and
powerful.'
*Martin Sheen, actor*
'An honest, hopeful book, coming at a propitious moment in the meth
epidemic.'
*Publishers Weekly*
'An excellent book that all parents can relate to whatever their
children's situation.'
*Library Journal*
'Moving, painfully honest, very revealing, it tells a story which
just never gets told and which is extraordinarily important.'
*Rosie Boycott*
'A brilliant, harrowing, heartbreaking, fascinating story, full of
beautiful moments and hard-won wisdom. This book will save a lot of
lives and heal a lot of hearts.'
*Anne Lamott*
'Beautiful Boy is so beautifully written that it will
come as a welcome balm to millions of parents and loved ones who
thought they were making this journey alone.'
*Armistead Maupin*
