BROKEN: MY STORY OF ADDICTION AND REDEMPTION

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

“The prodigal son of Bill Moyers, the exemplary broadcast journalist, wrecked a bright career at CNN and deserted his family in 1994, hitting bottom as a ‘thirty-five-year-old crack addict.’ The lurid appeal of his story hinges largely on Moyers’s munificent, even saintly father, and the train-wreck spectacle of his son’s fall from grace.”
