The son of Michael Douglas, grandson of Kirk Douglas offers a moving, often shocking, ultimately inspiring memoir detailing his struggle to regain his dignity, humanity and place in society after many years of drug abuse and almost eight years in prison. Illustrations. - Random House, Inc.
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, andâafter a DEA drug bustâa 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 lifeâs 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.
A brutally raw and honest memoir, Long Way Home is a powerful story of one manâs descent into the depths of addiction and self-destructionâand his successful renewal of family ties that had become almost irreparably frayed.
