Summary: 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.
Thought-provoking and heartfelt, This Much Is True is the story of one woman’s quest to face destructive cultural norms, unshackle herself from the shame heaped upon survivors, and ultimately break free.
About the author:
Katherine Apruzzese Sherbrooke is the author of four novels: Leaving Coy’s Hill, a New York Times notable book, and the winner of Honors in Fiction from the MA Book Awards, Fill the Sky, a finalist for the May Sarton Prize for contemporary fiction and the winner of an Indies Book of the Year award, and The Hidden Life of Aster Kelly, selected as PopSugar’s #1 Historical Fiction title of 2023. Her latest, This Much is True, is forthcoming in September 2026. The process of writing her first book, a family memoir called Finding Home, “reminded her” that her first love had always been books and writing, and sparked her to leave the business world in favor of writing. She embarked on that journey with the help of GrubStreet in Boston, the premier creative writing organization in the country, where she served on the board for 10 years.
