About this listen

Broken is a raw, haunting, and deeply moving collection of poems and prose that speaks for those whose voices were silenced by trauma, loss, and neglect. In stark yet lyrical language, William Henry Forester captures the fractured landscapes of childhood abuse, grief, and betrayal, while also revealing the fragile threads of resilience and survival that endure. Each page becomes both mirror and confession—showing the splinters of memory, the weight of absence, and the scars that remain when innocence is stolen too soon. Broken does not offer easy comfort. Instead, it honors the truth of suffering and the quiet strength of those who carry wounds into adulthood.

For listeners who have known sorrow—or who wish to understand it—this audiobook is not simply about pain. It is about endurance, dignity, and the possibility of love that grows even from shattered places.
