Charlotte Hartlace's best friend since kindergarten, Lyric Jackson-Kenney, doesn't want to do any of the things the girls used to do together. In fact, she doesn't seem to be speaking to Charlotte at all (or has Charlotte stopped speaking to her? Who can keep track?). Meanwhile, Charlotte's beloved older sibling, Eli, came home after college graduation for just ten days before moving out, into their own apartment, starting their grownup life. And Charlotte's parents are too busy with work this summer to notice how unhappy their 11½-year-old daughter is.

If You Say So is a book of true stories about loss and reinvention, longing and loneliness, friendship and community, and family and home—and dance, the dedicated practice of which has led her on an unexpected new path. This is a book about grief and the way it lives in the body—and joy, and the way it lives in the body too.

Life hasn't turned out quite the way Becca Cammeyer of Greenwich Village—once voted most likely to land on Broadway or in jail for a good cause—had planned.

Single, childless, J.T. Rosen—a poet and college professor who has failed to live up to her early promise—has constructed a careful, orderly life around her work and the little house she has lived in alone for many years. Long ago, after a tumultuous youth filled with the “Sturm und Drang of boys and men,” she gave up on the possibility of love; she has begun by now, in the Middle Western town she cannot bring herself to think of as home, to give up on the possibility of friendship.
