Journalist David Sheff introduces his forthcoming memoir, Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Meth Addiction (Houghton Mifflin), with a lyric by John Lennon: Before you cross the street, / Take my hand. I couldn’t. Expanding on his New York Times Magazine article, Sheff chronicles his son's downward spiral into addiction and the impact on him and his family. Nic? Clearly, it’s easy to get. Sure, he’s tried drugs—he’s a teenager, and about half of all American kids will try drugs. We encourage you to read our updated PRIVACY POLICY and COOKIE POLICY. And Nic lives some of the year with his remarried father and two step-sibs near San Francisco, and some of the year with his remarried mother in Los Angeles.

Now, according to some law enforcement officials, 80 to 100 percent of crime in some cities is meth-related. They resist what they consider excessive government control. I know a mother of four sons who, as they were growing up, cautioned them: “You will be someone’s bitch in jail before I bail you out.” (Her sons have an unblemished record.) And there’s a real question: even if the addict stops, will his brain recover? He has published seven books and has written for many major magazines.
