Publisher's Description
Broken Together: A Minister's Daughter is a multi-genre work including poetry, short prose, and essays, punctuated with biblical meditations in poetic and dramatic form. The work explores addiction and mental health issues in religious families, as well as sexual molestation, gun violence, war, COVID-19, and the "American Dream." One of the work's goals is to soften the distinction between "sacred" and "secular" so that all of us, Christian and non-Christian, may find ourselves in the work, and the voiceless may find a voice.

“As an ordained minister, Coe brings a deep understanding of theology and the Bible, and as a person, the compassion of someone who knows suffering as well as the humbleness of a human before the ineffable. With these qualities, combined with her considerable writing talent, she has created a challenging and inspiring body of work.”
“This deeply personal memoir lays bare spiritual and emotional experiences and reflections, sometimes of despair and woe, yet with hope for salvation. Weaving together poetry, dramatic scenes, prose, and scriptural allusions, Broken Together tells a powerful tale of how a life beset by painful challenges can inspire beauty and new beginnings.”
