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.

October 04, 2009: After all the stories, (and that's what they've been, just stories), of drug addiction,etc., here is an open and honest memoir of William Moyers, son of the well-known and accomplished journalist Bill Moyers. This book doesn't stand on his father's merits or name. This book will keep you turning the pages all through the night. It will also break your heart, again and again. And again. William is now married to Allison, and they have 3 beautiful children. He is successful, and clean and works at Hazelden, where he finally "got it". This book gives hope, it inspires and after I closed it, I said my prayers. That he won't slip. That he stays the course. And by God, I think he will.

June 23, 2009: I had never thought about addiction as a disease until I read this book. It takes a lot of courage to be truthful about the lowest points in your life but William Cope Moyers bares it all and I respect him for that. I now have a better understanding of addiction because of this book.
