Synopsis

Toti O’Brien’s memoir in pieces reflects a life deeply felt and keenly observed. Her poetic writing is by
turns exquisitely beautiful, jarringly disturbing, and always unafraid. She addresses layers of her
experience in a brilliant stream-of-consciousness style that I find to be utterly unique. These
philosophical, mysterious, and vivid musings lead the reader through adventure, longing, pain, and joy. I
highly recommend this remarkable literary achievement.

Rosemary L’Esprit, Author of UNDERWATER: A Mother's Search for Her Missing Daughter.

The Broken Diary isn’t. It is neither a diary nor is it broken. Undeniably, the book’s tone
is melancholic, poignant, and replete with losses: broken families, broken hearts, broken
promises, broken lives. But simultaneously, it is a gifted poet’s understated yet powerful
reminiscences of and ruminations on her life, on the human experience with its
singularity and universality, shared precious memory by precious memory with us
readers in deeply personal, elegant essays that grab us from the outset. O’Brien’s style
is gently conversational, addressing us, asking us questions to keep us up with her,
musing on a truth she just shared, asking us to consider her point. She is like a beloved
parent, or teacher, or shaman nudging us to think beyond the obvious, beyond
strictures, beyond bonds that delimit us, clouding our vision, obscuring self.
