In the bold and heartbreaking My Friend Leonard, James Frey picks up the story of his extraordinary life pretty much where things left off in his breakout bestseller and Amazon.com Best Book of 2003, A Million Little Pieces, the fierce, in-your-face memoir about Frey`s kamikaze run of self-destruction and his days in rehab. Fresh from a stint in jail from pre-rehab-related charges ( On my first day in jail, a three hundred pound man named Porterhouse hit me in the back of the head with a metal tr..ay. "), clean-living Frey returns to Chicago and gets sucker-punched with a cruel blow that will leave readers ducking for cover in anticipation of the blinding bender that`s sure to come."
