It never gets better, but it does get easier. That's the first thing Roz says to anyone who asks him for advice. Anyone who's lost, or just putting the pieces back together. When you're broken, fixed becomes an obsession.
Roz is a multi-platform entertainer and storyteller who's used to hosting three shows a day on five hours of sleep a night. On The Roz & Mocha Show, ET Canada Live and Entertainment Tonight Canada, Roz built an audience and turned them into family. But as with most families, there is just some shit we don't talk about.
From growing up in a small town to getting lost, drunk and terrified in New York; from finding comfort in the arms and beds of strangers to kicking an opioid addiction he didn't know he had; from broken bones to broken hearts and a broken marriage. From navigating grief and guilt following the devastating loss of his father to persevering in the face of an ongoing and private battle with his own body. All is shared in Roz's disarming signature blend of blunt truth and humour.
A Little Bit Broken is a deeply personal and inspiring account of self-forgiveness, redemption and recovering from bad choices--because let's face it, the reason we make bad choices is that they usually feel really good. And Roz has made them all.
We are not our mistakes. We are not our scars. We are not our guilt.
This book is for anyone who thinks they're too far gone or beyond repair. Anyone too ashamed to admit to or face the hurt because their current place in the world seems too goddamn good to complain about anything. We hide it or deny it and carry on. But it's nothing we can't fix.

"Weston's memoir [is] a riveting, emotional romp. . . . Refreshingly candid. . . . Weston tells all about his life so far—the people he has met, the places he has been—while presenting incisive looks at his own behaviour and thoughts. . . . He certainly has a knack for offering both insight and amusement.." —Winnipeg Free Press
