Publisher's Synopsis
"Stephanie Austin had a complicated father and a complicated relationship with him. His death, after a short battle with lung cancer, forced her to reckon with his always-threatened and now permanent absence from her life. As she struggled to find her footing, the health of her maternal grandmother, with whom she had always been close, began to fail. Austin found herself facing another looming grief, intensified by the bewildering early months of the pandemic. In unflinching, often wry prose, Something I Might Say lets us sit at the bedside in the sickroom with Stephanie Austin, and reminds us that the histories of our loves-the kindnesses and the disappointments too-sit with us in that final room"--.
