Leonard follows him and persuades him to return. Still struggling with withdrawal and the “Fury”-James’s name for the inner antagonist which drives him to alcohol and drugs-James walks out of the clinic. He needs root canal surgery to fix his teeth, but due to the drugs he is taking to manage his withdrawal, he must undergo this surgery without anesthetic. These friendships sustain him as he begins to go through withdrawal, experiencing constant pain and vomiting. Shortly afterwards, during a meal, he gets to know Leonard, a middle-aged mafia boss. At the dispensary, James meets and befriends a young woman named Lilly. Horrified by his appearance, they arrange for him to be signed into a rehab clinic the next day. When the plane lands-in Chicago-James’s parents are waiting for him. He has a broken nose and several broken teeth, and he doesn’t know where he’s going. Set largely in a private rehabilitation clinic, A Million Little Pieces charts James’s journey to recovery and the relationships he forms with other patients in the clinic. A Million Little Pieces is a 2003 book by American writer James Frey, originally marketed as a memoir and subsequently relabeled a “semi-fictional novel” after Frey was found to have invented many details of his story.
