The Broken King by Michael Thomas
The Broken King is a personal memoir that follows three generations of Black American men—an absent father, an estranged brother, and the author’s own sons—as it examines race, trauma, alcoholism, parenting, and mental illness. Thomas traces his upbringing in the Boston suburbs, the pressures of success, and a breakdown that leads to a difficult but hopeful path toward recovery and self-understanding.
