In Never the Whole Story, the past is never past, and the present comes filled with the miracle of small gestures-singular moments that have the power to transport the mind from one geographic place to the next, one emotional world to another. Memory is incomplete, events unfold from multiple perspectives, and secrets unspool from the ordinary.
