What We Carry is a memoir stitched from fragments of ordinary life dust in the morning light, cracked sidewalks under bike wheels, the hum of a restless fridge, the slam of doors in a too-small house. Rather than tracing milestones, it lingers in the textures of memory: a mother’s worn voice shaped by exhaustion, a sister’s defiant laughter through a thin curtain, the kindness and gossip of a small town that both carried and confined.
Across its pages, Thomas Worthington reflects on imperfection as inheritance the broken, scarred, and ordinary things that endure and define us. He writes of a family bound not by polished rituals but by threadbare moments: pancakes for dinner, laughter spilling across the floor, borrowed headphones that turned music into belonging. He writes of a town where neighbours left casseroles on doorsteps, yet secrets spread faster than the flu.
