Resumen del Editor

Now, in his most daring act yet, E. Lynn Harris writes the memoir of his life from his childhood in Arkansas as a closeted gay boy through his struggling days as a self-published author to his rise to New York Times best seller status. In What Becomes of the Brokenhearted, Harris shares with listeners an extraordinary life touched by loneliness and depression, but most importantly he reveals the triumphant story of a small town dreamer who was able, through writing, to make his dreams and more come true. With his signature compassion, raw courage and awe-inspiring honesty, E. Lynn Harris applies the same talents to his memoir that have made him a best selling fiction author.

A fascinating story

I have never read a book quite like this one. Like the other reviewer, I am white / straight but loved this book. Lynn Harris provides every detail of life as a closted gay in Arkansas, NY, Chicago, Atlanta, and DC. Each city has its own challenges and teh ending is great. Lynn is inspiring.

Hang on you either love it or not but I LOVE HIM

One of my favorite authors. His story his struggle with his worth and self-esteem. I see a little of myself this.This was a great read and an emotional experience for me I am glad I took the time to read it.

5 star book - 3 star narration

I love E. Lynn Harris's novels and hadn't gotten around to the memoir, though it was highly recommended by a colleague. When I heard he'd passed this summer, I really wanted to read it. The books is excellent: 5 stars. The narrator, though, wasn't as good as those who've done Harris's novels. For the first couple of hours he sounded uncomfortable with Harris's voice. I think I'd like to read this one again on paper to get my own feel for it.

Life Altering

This book made me cry, laugh and feel emotions that had been hidden. I could visualize all that I read. A great read I’m hooked!!!!!

What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

Mr. harris has captured the struggling frailty of the human soul. This book has enlightened and inspired me to follow my dreams and not take 'no' for an answer. Richard Allens' narration is supurb. The book is captivating. I fought between wanting to finish the book in one night and making it last as long as possible.
Great work Mr. Harris

Amazing Journey

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Harris during a signing in Long Beach California for this book. Now was the time for me to experience this story, I only wish Mr Harris was still around so I could reach out and commend him for such a wonderful piece of work.
