I'm Not Broken: A Memoir

"Jesse Leon’s memoir about being a “poor, sexually abused, drug-addicted Chicano kid” is at once brutal and full of hope. I’m Not Broken is the kind of narrative that vividly brings to the page the realities of someone ignored by the system and trapped by the streets, but who still manages to make it out and build a new life. As devastating as it is inspiring, this memoir delves deep into the importance of education, growth and helping others."
