"Beautiful Boy"

So I just concluded my latest novel, Beautiful Boy by David Sheff.

It was certainly everything I hoped. It gives you a deeper perspective of what a life of addiction is really like.

You see the heart of parent. The heart that can never let go. The heart that can and won't give up, no matter it takes.

I wonder often what life for me will be like when I become a mother.

There is no instruction manuel. No manuscript. I hope that I do it the right way. I want to say the right things. I hope I know how long to hold on and just when to let go. In Beautiful Boy, David Sheff, the parent of the addicted son, reveals that you may never know or be able to be a perfect parent. All you can do is try and give your whole heart. All you can do is love them unconditionally.

I hope that I am a great mother.

And I am very excited. The addicted boy in this novel wrote is own novel, Tweak by Nicholas Sheff. So of course I have to make a trip to the wonderful Barnes & Nobles tomorrow!
