Walk with Me: A Father and Son Find Their Way Together

Summary

A moving and insightful new memoir by award-winning columnist, inspirational speaker, and bestselling author David Magee. Perfect for readers of his previous book, Dear William, David Sheff’s Beautiful Boy, Luke Russert’s Look for Me There, and Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie.

In the span of just fourteen months, David Magee and his son Hudson each nearly died in the loneliest, darkest ways, overwhelmed by addiction and disconnection. But instead of losing their lives—and each other—they found the courage to be vulnerable, discovered faith in God, and accepted support from the people they love. 

Walk with Me shows that vulnerability, grace, and a relationship with God can transform not just ourselves, but entire generations. It celebrates recovery, lifts families affected by substance misuse, and supports those who are working tirelessly on the front lines of the opioid and mental health epidemic. Woven through are reflections on recovery science and resilience, revealing how the author’s family healed—and how readers can begin reclaiming connection and joy in their own lives.
