Subject: Beautiful Boy by David Sheff
Had several requests for this title at my high school. Grabbed it when
it came so I could read. Pg. 270, the father is looking for resources
for his young children to help them understand their brother's
addiction.
"The devoted librarians at their school sent out a request to a network
of their fellow librarians at schools around the country. The response
is overwhelming. I am forwarded a list of books about kids dealing with
a situation like ours-- about the guilt and responsibility one feels and
the questions that adults can .....".
Sounds a lot like this wonderful group! You never know what taking the
time to respond to a request can mean to someone. Just some food for
thought and inspiration.
