For fans of Modern Lovers and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a tender queer romance about one woman's rediscovery of choice, hope, and wild love in the wake of her husband's coma.

When Lacie Johnson's husband, Derek, suffers a stroke at forty-seven and falls into a coma, her plans come to a screeching halt-asking Derek for a divorce, going back to school to get her master's, and starting over as a single woman now that their children have grown up. But what begins as a disaster brings an unexpected blessing in the form of Quinn, a kind stranger whom Lacie meets in the halls of the hospital.

This is just a stop-over for Quinn, who is traveling up to the British Columbia coast to live in a co-op of grief survivors on a remote island after the loss of her young daughter. She's also the former singer of a post-riot grrrl band who fled the group and the public eye more than fifteen years ago for reasons unknown. Lacie thinks she's discovered in Quinn the life and the person she's always wanted. But Quinn harbors a secret that connects her to Derek. And if Derek wakes up, Quinn must come clean and risk destroying her growing relationship with Lacie.

Told in alternating points of view, All This Can Be True follows Lacie and Quinn as they make the journey to each other-and then grapple with the fallout.
