In this unflinching and inspiring memoir, Jesse Leon tells an extraordinary story of resilience and survival, shining a light on a childhood spent devastated by sex trafficking, street life, and substance abuse. Born to indigenous working-class Mexican immigrants in San Diego in the 1970s, Jesse Leon’s childhood was violently ruptured. A dangerous and harrowing encounter at a local gift shop when he was eleven years old left Jesse with a deadly secret. Hurt, alone, and scared for his life, Jesse numbed his pain by losing himself in the hyper-masculine culture of the streets and wherever else he could find it—in alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Overlooked by state-sanctioned institutions and systems intended to help victims of abuse, neglected like many other low-income Latinos, Jesse spiraled into cycles of suicide and substance abuse. I’m Not Broken is the heartbreaking and remarkable story of the journey Jesse takes to win back his life, leading him to the steps of Harvard University. From being the lone young person of color in Narcotics Anonymous meetings to coming to terms with his own sexual identity, to becoming an engaged mentor for incarcerated youth, Jesse finds the will to live with the love and support of his family, friends, and mentors. Recounting the extraordinary circumstances of his life, Jesse offers a powerful, raw testament to the possibilities of self-transformation and self-acceptance. Unforgettable, I’m Not Broken is an inspirational portrait of one young man’s indomitable strength and spirit to survive—against all possible odds.

Crushed, But Not Broken is about unyielding faith, determination, and a desire for truth. After breaking her arm playing on the monkey bars, Emmy began behaving strangely over the next three months. Not fully understanding what was happening, Missy continued to homeschool her four kids and take them out, including to the local pool in Smithfield, Virginia. What started as one of those normal days at the pool, however, ended with Emmy on a ventilator. Ten days and dozens of tests later, she woke up from a medically induced coma—physically disabled and with an inflamed brain. Emmy’s doctors put her through multiple medical procedures, some almost killing her. As Emmy’s brain continued to deteriorate, her parents finally got the doctors in Virginia to send her to Boston Children’s Hospital to search for a diagnosis and cure. Despite all the hardships—as well as the hardships yet to come—it was the promise of God’s goodness that kept Missy seeking answers to get the help and healing her daughter needed.

Tammy was an ordinary, innocent young lady who fell in love with the wrong guy. He seemed to be the perfect gentleman, but little did she know that she would be deceived. “What did I say?” Jerry replied. “You keep missing the part where I speak, and you obey.” “Hold up. Wait a minute. I am your wife, and I can make decisions on my own. I do not need you to think for me, Jerry.” “Woman, have you lost your rabbit mind? Do you realize you are doing what I asked you not to do? Who in the hell do you think you are talking to? You are going to learn today!” Jerry yelled. “But, Jerry...” It was too late. He had grabbed and choked her and punched her until her nose bled. He then walked off and went to the bathroom and got a towel. He told her to clean herself up and go take a bath.

This book is about a little girl whose life has been strewn between the rocks and gravel that accumulated over a life time. It was the possibilities that kept her going. She grew up a loner even though she had a big family. She grew up in a Christian home and believed in God that no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable things can be, miracles are real and can occur without regards to the nature of things. Everyone she trusted would let her down and hurt her. She was between a rock and a hard place; she felt lonely, unwanted, and confused, as if she was in a dark room with no exit. Eventually, she met and fell in love with a handsome young man, the love of her lifeor so she thought. She was relieved, with more confidence; life was good, and it seems like there was a bright light at the end of the tunnel. For a moment, everything was going well, until dilemma stroke. The secrets she had to keep almost took her life because she could not share it. She had to put up with a lot of discomfort and even misery in her life that had been inflected by people she trusted, but somehow she felt she was to be blamed. She always knew in her heart and mind that God promised never to leave or forsake her.
