Biography: general

A searing memoir about the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of the scion of Hollywood royalty--son of Michael Douglas, grandson of Kirk Douglas. A moving, shocking, and inspiring story detailing Cameron Douglas's struggle to regain his dignity, humanity, and place in society after many years of drug abuse and almost eight years in prison.

A ""gripping"" memoir (Rolling Stone) of one man's descent into the depths of addiction and self-destruction-and his successful renewal of family ties that had become almost irreparably frayed.

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, and-after a DEA drug bust-a 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 life's 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.

Reviews for Long Way Home: A Memoir of Fame, Family, and Redemption

“Frank, compelling, at times heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant.” —Variety ""Gripping."" —Rolling Stone “Family permeates Douglas’s book.... Long Way Home is [an] unsparing account of how he pursued what he calls his ‘demented death wish,’ chasing addictions to heroin and liquid cocaine, shaking off rehabs and forcible interventions, and nearly getting himself killed numerous times.” —The New York Times
