Everybody Knows But Me

When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer.

She was the only one who didn’t know they existed. After his death left her with more questions than answers, Holly sets out to uncover how a secret this big could be hidden, and why the sitcoms that raised her were often the only way to make sense of a life stranger than TV.
