DIARY OF A BROKEN MIND
A Mother’s Story, A Son’s Suicide, and the Haunting Lyrics He Left Behind
BY ANNE MOSS ROGERS
With Charles Rogers
THE FUNNIEST, MOST POPULAR KID IN SCHOOL, Charles Aubrey Rogers suffered from depression and later addiction, then ultimately died by suicide.
Diary of a Broken Mind focuses on the relatable story of what led to his suicide at age twenty and answers the why behind his addiction and this cause of death, revealed through a mother’s story and years of Charles’ published and unpublished song lyrics. The closing chapters focus on hope and healing–and how the author found her purpose and forgave herself.
Diary of a Broken Mind is a poignant and powerful story written with telling detail and searing honesty–and hope. It is an inside look at the issues of depression, addiction, and suicide affecting so many families. It is a book that won’t easily be forgotten.
“¢
“ANNE AND HER LATE SON, Charles, bring tragedy, hope and healing through the pages of Diary of a Broken Mind. The unimaginable pain and suffering that countless American families go through as a result of a loved one’s addiction and suicide is real. Through the lens of her son’s musical lyrics, Anne Moss Rogers explores the questions these families ask themselves … Why? And throughout the process, we all learn how to find purpose–even through some of our darkest moments..” – RYAN HAMPTON, author of American Fix: Inside the Opioid Crisis–and How to End It
