The Broken (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In November of 1997, two young men make a suicide pact. That night, one of them dies. On the stereo - the song "Where I Go" by infamous rock band, The Broken. From the streets of Paterson, NJ, to the heights of fame, The Broken follows the members of this band - Malcolm, Heather, Hayley, Eddie and Johnny - as they struggle to overcome their backgrounds, their identities - and ultimately the cost of fame. From the origins of the band in the early 90s to present day, The Broken asks the question: can you ever truly be free from your past - and from yourself? Who is responsible when art begets tragedy? Who should suffer, when suffering is in the nature of the music? Who is ultimately to blame for suicide?

Autor

C.M. North was born in the suburbs of Boston, MA, although he left there when he was two. He spent most of his childhood split between the soaring peaks of the Swiss Alps an the dark industrialism of northern England, and their scenery has left an indelible mark on his psyche and creativity.

He went to school in Sheffield, England, and earned a B.A. in Music Composition from the University of Sheffield. From there he somehow ended up returning to the stories he used to write as a child, and has spent most of the time since 2005 honing the craft of writing (though he says he's a long way from a master yet).

He became severely depressed in his late teens, and this forms the basis for his first novel, 22 Scars. The story of a teenage girl suffering through catatonic depression in the wake of a tragic upbringing, it reflects many of the feelings and traumas that he lived through himself in those early, dark days.

He currently lives in northern New Jersey with his wife and son, and he firmly believes that without their support he would not be here today.
