HURT BUT NOT BROKEN takes you through a journey of learning to let go and let God be in control of your situation. Not many of us are prepared to forgive when hurt in that moment we forget that we have hurt other people before and we will continue to do so and seek forgiveness.

"Hurt but Not Broken" is a book created to inspire. Tyler was twelve when he started getting involved into criminal activity. Being raised by his great grandmother in a rough neighborhood, Tyler felt like there was no hope for him. Over the span of three years, Tyler found himself hurt, alone and locked up behind bars. Thinking things couldn't get much worse, he found himself homeless for close to two years after being released from the detention center. It's a story marked with tragedy, suffering and pain. Tyler believes that while we may feel hurt, we are far from broken.

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.
