Guess What's Different

Guess What's Different is a collection of essays about the moments no one wants to talk about. Family history, family secrets. Anxiety, depression, and grief. With sharp prose and an open heart, Susan Triemert brings these moments back to life and makes you care about people you don't know. Even when it hurts, she writes about her life and family with honesty and tenderness, from the pain and confusion of losing her parents, to the joy of finding her children through adoption. To Triemert, every moment matters. Memories fade and shape our narratives, and photographs should be scrutinized for any missing truths. It's the writing that gets you though. Whether they're sad or scary or sweet, Triemert's style and precision turn these essays into stories that you really don't want to end.
