The Truth Changes All The Time is a collection of three stories and four essays examining notions of family, aging, illness, and change. In a time when writers, critics, and readers debate the merits of nonfiction versus fiction, I explore the advantage each form presents over the other. In some cases, imagined situations and people may speak the truth better than ones taken from real-life. In others, the examination of people and their reactions to situations may serve the truth better. This collection demonstrates that while form is a vehicle, a conscious choice, the impulse to speak the truth is the same.
