Non-Fiction Memoir
Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the
years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do
cocaine and Ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth
and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to
quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It
took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince
him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares
no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and
true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we
watch Nic plunge the mental and physical depths of drug
addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at odds
with his past, with his family, with his substances, and
with himself. It's a harrowing portrait -- but not one
without hope.
