Unveiling Hidden Truths: A Riveting Journey Through Michelle Herman’s If You Say So
I was surprised that in a collection focused on Herman’s experiences, the final essay in If You Say So is entirely about her friend Judith, whom she met at her dance classes. But this essay, meant to honor a cherished friend, ties together all the themes of the earlier essays. In particular, it emphasizes how, even as our relationships evolve over time or differ with age, and are interrupted by death, we remain intertwined with each other. We become as much the keepers of others’ stories as we are of our own.
