This Much is True

By: Sherbrooke, Katherine A.

A mother faces an impossible dilemma as her daughter's future hangs in the balance

On her fifty-eighth birthday, Veronica Harmon feels blessed-with a fulfilling veterinary career, a wonderful marriage and three grown children, her youngest newly engaged and celebrating her first solo art show that very night. But when Veronica meets her daughter's future in-laws, Ted and Belinda, who've flown across the country for the show, she is shocked to recognize Ted from an incident during high school that changed the trajectory of her life. Having never told a soul about that night, Veronica's past reemerges like a live grenade.

Over the course of a pre-arranged weekend at the Harmon's home intended to better acquaint the two families, Veronica unearths troubling memories, questions her own recollections and grapples with the impossible. If she quietly welcomes this man as a permanent part of her family she will be forced to live with a devastating lie, but if she reveals their shared history, she will expose her private shame and destroy her daughter's future. Just when she thinks there is no viable solution, she has an epiphany that flips the script on what it means to be a survivor and the choices that are hers to make.
