Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Sunday September 29th at 3:00 pm as they welcome William Cope Moyers to the store to discuss and sign Broken Open: What Painkillers Taught Me about Life and Recovery. Joining him in conversation will be Tommy Rosen.
William Cope Moyers was a model of sober success. As his inspiring story of overcoming addiction was on its way to becoming a New York Times bestseller, everyone thought he had finally achieved the redemption promised by recovery—including him. But the perfect story that helped Moyers become a famous face of the recovery movement was already unraveling, revealing a yet-to-be healed chasm between his public persona and conflicted inner life. A follow-up to his 2006 memoir Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption, Broken Open: What Pain Killers Taught Me About Life and Recovery, with a Foreword by Rosanne Cash, is Moyers’s story of the ups and downs of life beyond the bright moments of early sobriety and what happened when a new crisis invaded what once seemed like a steady and secure recovery.
