Candid, shocking, and unforgettable, Broken is a haunting and clear-eyed tale that offers hope for all those wrestling with addictionUnlike 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 Similar books: Beautiful Boy by David Sheff Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man by Bill Clegg Pill Head by Joshua Lyon The Recovering by Leslie Jamison Tweak by Nic Sheff We All Fall Down by Nic Sheff Drinking by Caroline Knapp More, Now, Again by Elizabeth Wurtzel My Booky Wook by Russell Brand High on Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips Blackout by Sarah Hepola I'm Supposed to Protect You from All This by Nadja Spiegelman Smashed by Koren Zailckas lit by Mary Karr A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown
