About This Much Is True
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. As her youngest daughter celebrates her first solo art show with family and future in-laws, Veronica is stunned to recognize Ted, the father of the groom, as the man whose actions during high school forever altered the course of her life.
Over the course of one emotionally charged weekend, Veronica must confront long-buried memories and grapple with an impossible choice. If she remains silent, she risks having the man who changed her life become a permanent part of her family’s future. If she reveals the truth, she could shatter cherished relationships and jeopardize her daughter’s happiness.
Rich in emotional depth, This Much Is True is a compelling novel about family, resilience, forgiveness, and the life-changing power of truth.
