“Astute, arresting, and profound, This Much is True is your mother’s story and your father’s, your daughter’s and your son’s, your sister’s and your brother’s. So many women have been waiting to read this novel and so many men need to read it.”

“Sherbrooke’s vivid prose transported me back to high school, complete with searing memories that can be at once technicolor, yet blurry. Anyone who lived through the 80s likely has had to revisit that era’s rules and re-examine what we thought we knew. This book asks important questions about what we as women are forced to carry and what it takes to lay those burdens down.”

“In this artfully crafted novel, a woman grapples with a long-hidden secret that threatens to upend everything she loves. This Much is True confronts sexual assault with unflinching clarity, while Sherbrooke skillfully weaves moments of tenderness with piercing outrage. For so many reasons, this story—and this reckoning—will stay with me for a long time.”

“Women of my generation have been waiting for This Much is True ever since we watched Sixteen Candles as teenagers and shifted uncomfortably in our seats. Katherine Sherbrooke’s Veronica embodies our confused silence, makes sense of it, and then asks what happens if we refocus our collective lens and put all the pieces where they really belong.”

“Packed with relatable emotion, This Much is True by Katherine A. Sherbrooke portrays the devastating shadow of betrayal and its power to impact a present-day marriage and precarious mother-daughter relationship. Brace yourself for an ending that is as surprising as it is deeply satisfying.”
