Alyssa Megson had a rough start to her life, but now, things seem to be going well. Her best friend, Heidy, lives in her apartment building and is a great confidant, and she couldn’t be more in love with her husband, Evan, with whom she is trying to start a family. Things get even better when, after five years of trying and failing to get pregnant and being told her egg quality is too poor to conceive, Alyssa miraculously becomes pregnant with their daughter, Rachel. Evan struggles to find a balance between being a grieving son and an elated new father, as he learns his mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer. He begins to drink excessively and treat Alyssa with disrespect. Alyssa does her best to be supportive, but all her trust in Evan slips away when he puts Rachel's life in jeopardy. Alyssa cannot bring herself to forgive him. She turns to Heidy for support as she contemplates divorce, and is thankful Rachel has a friend in Heidy’s son, Merrick. Each harbouring an insecurity from a past experience (Alyssa being unsure of her mom’s whereabouts and Heidy’s divorce), they support each other through some of life’s toughest issues with a hilarious sense of humour and a whole lot of spunk and love. A secret they intended to keep hidden forever looms over the two families until there is no choice but to reveal it - but at what cost? In the meantime, has Heidy discovered where Alyssa’s mom is, and will the reason she left crush Alyssa?

Bastard Out of Carolina, nominated for the 1992 National Book Award for fiction, introduced Dorothy Allison as one of the most passionate and gifted writers of her generation. Now, in Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, she takes a probing look at her family's history to give us a lyrical, complex memoir that explores how the gossip of one generation can become legends for the next. Illustrated with photographs from the author's personal collection, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure tells the story of the Gibson women -- sisters, cousins, daughters, and aunts -- and the men who loved them, often abused them, and, nonetheless, shared their destinies. With luminous clarity, Allison explores how desire surprises and what power feels like to a young girl as she confronts abuse. As always, Dorothy Allison is provocative, confrontational, and brutally honest. Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, steeped in the hard-won wisdom of experience, expresses the strength of her unique vision with beauty and eloquence.
