"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."
--Irene Cullen Gravina, journalist and poet

"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."
--Frank Abate, Editor, New Oxford American Dictionary
