Book description
Ahora en la gran pantallaProtagonizada por Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Maura Tierney y Amy Ryan¿Qué le pasó a mi hijo precioso? ¿A nuestra familia? ¿En qué me equivoqué? Esas son las tormentosas preguntas que acompañan a David Sheff en su viaje a través de la adicción a las drogas y los intentos de desintoxicarse de su hijo Nic. Antes de hacerse adicto a las drogas, Nic Sheff era un niño encantador, alegre y simpático. Adorado por todos, era un buen estudiante y un gran atleta. Pero las metanfetaminas le convirtieron en un tembloroso espectro que mentía, robaba y llegó a vivir en las calles. David Sheff traza las primeras señales de alarma, la negación, la llamada a las 3 de la mañana¿--será Nic? ¿la policía? ¿el hospital? Su preocupación obsesiva por Nic se convirtió en otro tipo de adicción, también con trágicas consecuencias.Mi hijo precioso es una crónica entrañable y aterradora sobre cómo las adicciones no sólo dañan a los adictos, sino a todos los que les rodean. David Sheff ha escrito un poderoso y conmovedor retrato de familia, ahora adaptado para la gran pantalla y protagonizado por Steve Carrell y Timothée Chalamet. "Una historia brillante, desgarradora, desgarradora y fascinante, llena de hermosos momentos y sabiduría ganada con esfuerzo. Este libro salvará muchas vidas y curará muchos corazones ". - Anne Lamott ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "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 "'When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our own pain and that of others.' That's ultimately what Beautiful Boy is about: truth and healing." -- Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls--is it Nic? the police? the hospital? His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every treatment that might save his son. And he refused to give up on Nic. "Filled with compelling anecdotes and important insights . . . An eye-opening memoir." -- Washington Post
