A Version of the Truth

After forty years of sharing quiet companionship with Jack, meeting twice a week, living separately and loving each other in their own way, Marsh Rose is left with more questions than answers after a sudden crisis ends their time together. Marsh reflects on the shape of their relationship, the comfort of routines, and the mysteries that even deep intimacy can never fully solve.
Set in Northern California wine country, the book moves gently through decades of small but meaningful moments, from home repairs to bird feeder battles to the adoption of a dog, and ending with a surreal twist, painting a portrait of an unconventional love. This is a story of grief, aging and coming to peace with uncertainty.
With tenderness and clarity, A Version of the Truth invites readers to consider what it means to truly know another person and how we construct meaning from what we’ll never fully understand.
