SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Amelia Rowe needs nineteen hundred dollars by Friday.
Her mother is ill, her cousin has spent her share of the rent, and her ex still owes her money. When a trusted coworker arranges help from an anonymous donor, Amelia finally sleeps through the night.
Christine Bell is used to being useful. With Amelia, lunch breaks become something she looks forward to. For once, someone wants her company as much as her help.
But the money was never Christine's to give.
When Amelia discovers where the gifts came from, the woman she trusted asks for a favor of her own. Telling the whole truth could hurt Christine. Leaving part of it out would mean protecting another lie.
Something Like That is a contemporary women's fiction novella about caregiving, complicated friendship, and forgiveness that cannot be demanded. Told through two women's voices, it brings family humor and moral suspense to the question of how to stay grateful without staying silent.
