It's amazing how little we really know about our parents and siblings. This is a well written story that shows us how many of the memories we shared were never spoken of. . . . Carol

Coming together as Authors at Framework Publishing
During a gathering, Shirley, Heidy, and other family members began reminiscing over old family photos. One particular photograph captured their attention and they began speculating about the 1945 childhood death of their nine-year-old aunt and what they didn’t know about that tragedy. Later research of funeral home and cemetery records revealed significant, unknown details and the spark was ignited to wrap a family drama around them. As the intricate story developed, They Only Thought They Knew emerged as Shirley and Heidy’s debut fictional novel.
