Synopsis
Vera has spent a lifetime being very good at fine. She has done everything right. That turns out to be the problem.
There is a patio table set for six in a house where she is the only regular guest. There is a man of seven years who adores her and still can't choose her. And tomorrow, she walks away from the company where she spent eleven years being the person who knows where everything is and how to fix it.
She has no plan. What she has is a blank document that begins I want to write something true.
Then a health scare finishes off her patience for a life that only looks good in photos, and Vera does the thing she has been circling for years. She tells the truth. It brings her a bookshop she keeps orbiting like a stray, old friends who finally get the real story, and a letter from her younger self asking the one question she has spent her whole adult life dodging.
Something True is a novel about starting over in the middle of a life you already built. About telling the truth to the people who remember your worst haircut, and finally to yourself. About the difference between being adored and being chosen.
The quiet fury. The woman nobody heard until she wrote it down.
For readers of Katherine Heiny, Meg Mason, and Catherine Newman.

About the Author
Gina Cafasso caught the creative bug at five and has been chasing it ever since. She grew up in her immigrant father's restaurant, twenty-six years of unlicensed graduate work in eavesdropping, timing, and feeding people whether or not they said they were hungry. Then two decades in marketing. She wrote an online column for years before anyone called it content. Something True is her first novel, though not her first attempt to hold a room. She lives in Southern California and is at work on the next one. Read more of her work at ginacafasso DOT com.

Something True (Paperback)
Print on DemandSeller: CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Vera is fifty-four, very good at her job, and quietly seething that this is what she has to show for it. Tomorrow is her last day at the company where she has spent eleven years being the person who knows where everything is and how to fix it. She has no plan. She has a blank document that starts with I want to write something true, a patio table set for six in a house where she is the only regular guest, and seven years invested in a man who adores her but still can't choose her. Then a health scare finishes off her patience for a life that only looks good in photos. What Vera does next surprises everyone, including herself: the bookshop she keeps circling like a stray, the old friends she finally tells the truth to, the young mentee who clocks her at the exact moment she's trying to disappear, and a letter from her younger self, stashed away for decades, asking the one question she's spent her entire adult life dodging. Wry, tender, and devastating, Something True is a novel about starting over after fifty. It's about telling the truth to the people who remember your worst haircut, and finally to yourself. And it's about the gap between being adored and being chosen. The quiet fury. The quiet book. The woman nobody heard until she wrote it down. For readers of Elizabeth Strout, Katherine Heiny, and Catherine Newman. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9798188074043
