Publisher Description
A “gripping" memoir (Rolling Stone) of one man’s descent into the depths of addiction and self-destruction—and his successful renewal of family ties that had become almost irreparably frayed.
On the surface, Cameron Douglas had everything: descended from Hollywood royalty (son of Michael Douglas, grandson of Kirk Douglas), he was born into a life of wealth, privilege, and comfort. But by the age of thirty, he had become a drug addict, a thief, and—after a DEA drug bust—a convicted drug dealer sentenced to five years in prison, with another five years added while he was incarcerated.
Through supreme willpower, a belief in himself, and a steely desire to alter his life’s path, Douglas began to reverse his trajectory, to understand and deal with the psychological turmoil that tormented him for years, and to prepare for what would be a profoundly challenging but successful reentry into society at large.

Powerful
I couldn’t bring myself to read this because it hit too close to home but it kept presenting itself each time I was searching for another book to read. Although I knew it may be painful I knew I was being drawn to this book for a reason. Thank you Cameron- your story has helped me to better understand my nephews 19 yr battle with drug addiction, dual diagnosis of bipolar and borderline personality disorder and 6 yr struggle with the judicial system. He’s currently in another inpatient facility after relapsing shortly after being released from jail. My sister is reading this now and I’m hopeful that it will help her too. My hope is that my nephew will read this book and it will open his eyes and heart to know that he can overcome his past and his addiction and fully heal his soul. Job well done sir…
