Synopsis

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.

February 29, 2008: I read this to try to understand my nephew's crack addiction, then I sent him a copy. He read it and confirmed that he had so many of the same experiences and that it helped him to see that the cycle is unending without intervention. This couldn't have been an easy book to write, and I'm thankful to William Cope Moyers that he's tried to help others to cope with addiction.
