New York Times journalist David Itzkoff crafts a powerful, remarkably honest memoir that no reader will ever forget. Growing up, David understood his father to be a trusted ally and confidant-a man who always had some hard-won wisdom to share. But he was also a junkie. As David grew older, he fell into the same trap, until he and his father hit the road in search of their 'morning after.' 'A memoir can be great for many reasons, but one quality matters more than all the others-brutal, uncomfortable honesty.'-Chuck Klosterman
