Nick was a talented and charming young man. Drugs turned him into a trembling ghost who lied, stole and lived on the streets. His father, journalist David Sheff, talks in detail and candidly about the long journey that Nick and the whole family had to go through in the fight to return to normal life. He traces the entire story: from the first warning signs to numerous attempts at rehabilitation. This book is a chronicle of the fall and return of hope. Published in Russian for the first time.
