Nic Sheff was the apple of his father David’s eye. Handsome and fun-loving, he was a varsity athlete, an honor student and a loving older brother. Even as David divorced Nic’s mother and pursued his busy journalism career, his soft spot for Nic never hardened.
But there was another Nic whose existence David long denied. This Nic got drunk at age 11, spent his teen years smoking pot and doing ecstasy and coke, and finally succumbed to heroin and crystal meth addiction. This Nic was a compulsive liar who lived on the streets, went in and out of rehab and stole from his eight-year-old brother. His addictions would consume both his and David’s lives—until Nic found the strength to get clean, and David found the strength to forgive himself for the role, both real and imagined, he played in Nic’s descent into drug hell.
In this remarkable pair of New York Times-bestselling books, Nic and David each tell their own side of the story. Beautiful Boy chronicles David’s obsession with his son’s addiction with a journalist’s eye and a father’s heart. Tweak is Nic’s memoir of his years as an addict, centering on the near-fatal relapse that spurred him to get clean—and the ongoing struggle to stay that way.
