One contrary ghost, two women, three triangles, four children: What You Don’t Know is a bisexual love story from the Music City, the Blueridge Mountains and the Bay Area. Chloe, beautiful, whip-smart, flees a difficult childhood and sexual betrayal to the Bay Area where she falls in love with a woman. Afraid of this love, she devotes herself to making money instead. At 29 she moves to Nashville and meets Peter, a producer whose wife Angie recently died. Angie still seems to be around though, quietly coaching Chloe about Peter and helping her twin sister Rosie through grief. Rosie is devastated by the loss of Angie and dislikes Chloe immediately, that is, until she becomes intrigued by her. After Chloe marries Peter, their relationship grows close, displeasing Angie. Chloe realizes she’s in love with Rosie, creating yet another triangle. A terrible accident ensues that upends everyone’s lives again, but bringing Chloe home to her true desires.

Praise for What You Don't Know “A dazzling story, containing so much more than the width of its spine. Love is all over the place in this novel, and you don’t know which way it will turn next, and you stay glued to the page to find out. Burch reminds us that life is complex and dynamic and we really don’t know what might happen next.” —Nina Schuyler, award-winning author of Afterword “Dreamy and poetic, What You Don’t Know chronicles the awakening of two young women to the intertwined forces of grief and desire. Set in soul-freeing San Francisco and music-rich Nashville, this immersive novel deeply explores the hearts of its characters.” —Lucy Jane Bledsoe, award winning author of Tell the Rest “Beautifully written, haunting novel by poet Beverly Burch. Atmospheric tale of a love that seeps through the life/death barrier. Strongly recommend!” —Joan Steinau Lester, PEN award-winning author of Loving Before Loving: A Marriage in Black and White “ What You Don’t Know is an engrossing story of female friendship and its power to transform. I fell in love with Chloe and Rosie and cheered—and worried—for them as they navigated work, marriage, children, and the growing feelings they had for one another. This is a tender story you won't forget.” —Frances Dinkelspiel, award winning author of NYT bestselling Tangled Vines: Greed, Murder, Obsession and an Arsonist in the Vineyards of California Beverly Burch is the author of two nonfiction books and four poetry collections, most recently Leave Me a Little Want.
