About this listen
Los Angeles lawyer Lena Antinori has dedicated her career to fighting discrimination, including for the LGBTQ community, but her own family's secret haunts her. At thirteen years old, she made the startling discovery that her father, Frank, was gay and her mother, Teresa, knew. Fearing social stigma, Teresa instituted a code of silence meant to protect their Italian Catholic family—a code Lena adhered to for decades.
Now, Frank plans to marry his partner, and he wants Lena to help plan the wedding. Lena is torn between maintaining loyalty to her mother and supporting her father's newfound happiness. As her father's wedding approaches, Lena learns her childhood wounds run deeper than she thought, and failing to heal them might sentence her to a life of hypocrisy and the inability to discover the true meaning of coming out.
Told by Lena in the present, and her parents in the past, Everything We Thought Was True examines how the truth doesn't set you free until you embrace it.

Story
In the four years since losing her wife Annie, Mo Reeves has let grief become her constant companion, watching her thriving career and relationships wither like autumn leaves. When her friends convince her to make a pilgrimage to Annie's beloved hiking trail in Redwood National Park, she agrees—if only to silence their worry. Aspen Anderson knows every trail and tourist that passes through her small town, content to pour drinks by night and guide backpackers by day beneath the towering redwood canopy. But lately, the comfort of her predictable life feels more like a cage than a sanctuary.

Story
When a former classmate begs Pleiti for help on behalf of her cousin―who’s up for a prestigious academic position at a rival Jovian university but has been accused of plagiarism on the eve of her defense―Pleiti agrees to investigate the matter. Even if she has to do it without Mossa, her partner in more ways than one. Even if she’s still reeling from Mossa’s sudden isolation and bewildering rejection. Yet what appears to be a case of an attempted reputational smearing devolves into something decidedly more dangerous―and possibly deadly.

Story
Legendary ice queen director Genevieve Howard has finally found the perfect actress for her show on the biggest stage in London. This show could redefine both the industry and her career. Eden Rowley is a struggling actress. This role is Eden's dream come true, but there is a catch: Genevieve Howard is impossible to please, and the intense chemistry between them only complicates things. Late-night rehearsals blur the lines between professional and personal, and as the chemistry between them ignites, both women are drawn into an affair that's as thrilling as it is dangerous.

Story
Senator Francesca Thurston is embroiled in a battle to be the first female president of the United States with frosty Ice Queen Congresswoman Margot Smith. Francesca is a trailblazer, being an openly gay senator. What she doesn't expect is the immediate chemistry she feels on her first meeting with Margot. Francesca doesn't like Margot and her tendency to stoop to underhand methods to get what she wants, but she can't resist the lure of the icy older woman. If anyone caught them together it would destroy everything they had fought their whole lives to build.
