MY FRIEND LEONARD pulls you immediately and deeply into a relationship as unusual as it is inspiring, and is perhaps the most unconventional and literally breathtaking father-son story you'll ever read.
The father figure is Leonard, the high-living, recovering coke addict "West Coast Director of a large Italian-American finance firm" (read: mobster) who helped to keep James Frey clean in A Million Little Pieces. The son is, of course, James, damaged perhaps beyond repair by years of crack and alcohol addiction-and by more than a few cruel tricks of fate.
