Marilyn June
Coffey
Marilyn June Coffey, a Nebraska native, lived for 30 years in New York City. While there, her controversial novel Marcella broke a world record for frankness and her wry poem “Pricksong” won a national prize.
Now an internationally published author, Coffey lives in Omaha with a feisty orange cat and an undisciplined garden. She writes history books. Atlantic featured her Great Plains Patchwork on its cover and again on-line. Amazon and Kindle named Coffey’s Mail-Order Kid best sellers. Amazon called her Thieves, Rascals & Sore Losers a best history book. Coffey’s latest—That Punk Jimmy Hoffa!—details her trucker father’s clash with the Teamsters.

A Story of Loss
and Recovery
This is a story of a family in the early 1900s—a time when the anxiety of World War I was running high, the suffrage movement was in full swing across the country, and many families struggled to cope with a bleak and troubling outlook.
In her trademark storytelling style, author Marilyn June Coffey beautifully paints the portrait of a family, who despite the woes of the world outside, fills their home with love and warmth, along with the excitement of new opportunities for their future.
The family watched with fear as an accident changed everything in one stroke, and colored their world with a different brush.
