What You Have Heard Is True: A Memoir of Witness and Resistance

byCarolyn Forché

What You Have Heard is True is a devastating, lyrical, and visionary memoir about a young woman’s brave choice to engage with horror in order to help others. The argument in What You Have Heard Is True develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the witness and resistance to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
