Broman was diagnosed with torn tendons in his hand after practising violin at summer camp. Doctors told him he could never play the violin again, and it changed his life forever. He struggled to find a job that filled him with the same kind of passion as playing the instrument. Broman's new book is called "Coldy Mills"
