Dueling Memoir Marketing

Is author David Sheff in competition with son Nic or laying the groundwork for his child's success?

Children and fathers remember the same situation differently. Although not always in print. Sheff elder has just had his memoir of living through his son's crystal meth addiction, Beautiful Boy: A Journey Through a Son's Addiction, selected for the February Starbucks in-store literary promotion. Sheff younger has his memoir, Tweak: Growing Up on Amphetamines, also scheduled for a Feb. publication, although his will be without the coffee pushers imprimatur.
