Read by Daniel Brooks

I Know This Much Isn't True is a quiet revolt against the stories we were raised on-about our families, our roles, and who we're allowed to be. Through reflective, emotionally precise chapters, the book explores how "truths" formed in childhood ("I'm the responsible one," "we were fine," "my pain doesn't count") turn into invisible scripts that shape every relationship, decision, and breakdown. Instead of offering a neat new narrative, it walks you through the messy middle: the moment you realize the old story doesn't fit, but you don't yet have another one to live in. With a blend of psychology, family dynamics, and gentle self-inquiry, I Know This Much Isn't True helps you question inherited myths, separate love from harm, and step out of roles that no longer fit-without turning your history or your heart into a simple villain/hero tale. This is a book about unlearning with compassion and choosing, at last, a life that matches what you really know, not just what you were told
