Broke But Dreaming: What Every Teen Boy Wishes He Could Say Out Loud

By Ty Davis

What does it really feel like to be a teenage boy trying to hold it all together while the world keeps piling on more?

When Ty was just fourteen, everything he knew was stripped away. Home, friends, and the familiar rhythm of life were gone. Dropped into a new state, a new school, and a life he had not asked for, he learned fast what it meant to feel invisible. The weight of silence, the pressure to perform, the fear of failing, all of it pressed down hard. And yet, somewhere in the middle of the chaos, something unexpected began to rise: a dream.

Broke But Dreaming: From New State to New Heights is not just a memoir, it is a lifeline. It is the story of a young man who faced the same quiet battles so many boys carry alone, the loss of belonging, the sting of friendships that fade, the questions that feel too heavy to ask out loud. It is about resilience in the face of doubt, hope in the middle of struggle, and the courage it takes to keep standing when no one seems to notice you are breaking.

This book is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, for those who carry heavy questions in silence, and for the ones who smile on the outside while breaking inside. It is for teens navigating pressures they cannot always put into words, and it is also for parents who want to understand the weight their children may be carrying quietly.

It offers no sugarcoating and no easy answers, only truth, honesty, and a reminder that even when life feels heavy and uncertain, there is still a version of you waiting to take flight.
