A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself by Peter Davies
A tender, elliptical portrait of parenthood that begins with a couple’s decision to end a pregnancy after a devastating diagnosis and follows them through grief, guilt, and the fraught joys of raising a subsequent child. Told in sharp, fragmentary vignettes, it examines marriage, masculinity, medical uncertainty, and the stories we craft to survive, blending dark humor with vulnerability as a father grapples with love, doubt, and the fragile miracle of family.
