Who are we? Growing up together, Seph, Heather, and Lia held onto each other in the face of a world that didn’t understand them. Now in their late twenties, the trio find themselves facing new challenges. Seph, the transgender daughter of a family of basic-cable ghost hunters, copes with the loss of her father, attempting to honor him without being swallowed by his legacy. Heather, a sharp-tongued Irish expat, fights unwanted feelings while trying to carve a place for herself in the world. Lia, a quiet girl living in the shadow of an unspeakable tragedy, finds herself trapped in an unhealthy marriage while striving for her life-long goal of being “normal.” Together, they’ve weathered every storm, lending each other strength and leaning on one another. What are we? But time has a way of loosening even the tightest bonds. In the aftermath of a jarring crisis, the three women must grapple with old wounds, new complications, and secrets that won’t stay buried as they try to decide whether to keep holding on to one another or to finally let go. With her trademark blend of humor and heartbreak, Jessica Conwell’s Three Sharp Knives explores unconventional love, boundless friendship, and how our past and present weave together to make us who—and what—we are.
