Book: Broken Together
Authors: Brenda S. Anderson & Sarah S. Anderson
Genre: Christian Women’s Fiction
Release date: December 1, 2021
How do you persevere when you have no more will to fight?
Jennifer and Chad Taylor had dreamed of opening a coffee and cocoa shop since before they said, “I do.” When Chad is sent to prison for murder despite claiming innocence, that dream—along with their family—is shattered.
After years of fighting for Chad’s release, Jennifer finally breaks free from her shame, anger, and hopelessness, and forges ahead with the dream the two of them once shared. With the help of their college-aged twins, she begins to move forward.
Without Chad.
When their lawyer arrives with news of evidence that may prove Chad’s innocence, a strange mixture of emotions overtakes her. Does she want Chad to return home? He isn’t the same man he once was, and she certainly isn’t the same woman. She’s worked hard to piece the remnants of their family back together, and his coming home could fracture the family once again.
It all comes down to one question. She loves her husband enough to fight for his release from prison, but does she love him enough to fight for their marriage?
BOOK EXCERPT
“Right here? No. But it wouldn’t hurt to check out the town.”
“What town? There’s not even a coffee shop. Dad’d hate it.”
She couldn’t argue with that. Still, she nodded toward his twin, who was already halfway down the block. Impulsive, like her father.
“We’re exploring today, that’s all.” Jenn put an arm around his shoulder, but he shrugged it off.
Teenagers …
She got out of the car and jogged to catch up to Chloe, who’d stopped in front of the brick building on the corner.
“Mom, look!” She gestured to the window. “It’s for sale!”
“Well, I’m not really ready to buy—” A glance through the window stopped her, drew her in closer as if she were metal and the window a magnet. She removed a napkin from her purse and wiped dirt from the window. Peered inside. Saw mounds of dirt. Even more junk.
And a long wood bar. “Your father’s dream,” she said, barely above a whisper.
“And yours.” Chloe had rubbed her own spot clean.
“Yes, but your father isn’t here.” Jenn retreated a step, forcing reality to banish the dream.
