Publisher Description
Candid, shocking, and unforgettable, Broken is a haunting and clear-eyed tale that offers hope for all those wrestling with addiction
Unlike some popular memoirs that have fictionalized and romanticized the degradations of drug addiction, Broken is a true-life tale of recovery that stuns and inspires with virtually every page. The eldest son of journalist Bill Moyers, William Cope Moyers relates with unforgettable clarity the story of how a young man with every advantage found himself spiraling into a love affair with crack cocaine that led him to the brink of death-and how a deep spirituality allowed him to conquer his shame, transform his life, and dedicate himself to changing America's politics of addiction.
"William Cope Moyers's lucid, measured tale of his own plunge into crack-addled hell [is] frightening in its very realism." -USA Today
Customer Reviews
Real
Should be a required reading at all inpatient/outpatient treatment facilities. Especially insightful for family members of afflicted addictions, helps bridge the gap to understanding the disease from a personal perspective.
This book was just... flat
I read the entire book because I didn’t want to waste my money but it was SO BORING. it was just flat the entire way through. Wish I could get my money back.
Broken
An immensely readable book and a compelling visit into a dark, unfathomable place. For anyone who is struggling, or watching a loved one struggle, Broken is required reading. For anyone reading this review who hasn't been touched in any way by addiction, know that you're blessed beyond measure. Read Broken to better understand that, and to learn something of the pain dwelling in the shadows all around you.
