ALL THE TRUTH THAT'S IN ME is many things. It is a true romance, a story of desperate yearning and unrequited love. It's a page-turning mystery full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. But most of all, it's an empowering drama about a girl's journey from victim to hero. Judith can't speak. Ever since the horrifying trauma that left her best friend dead and Judith without her tongue, she's been a pariah in her close-knit community of Roswell Station; even her own mother won't look her in the eye. All Judith can do is silently pour out her thoughts and feelings to the love of her life, the boy who's owned her heart as long as she can remember - even if he doesn't know it - her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked by enemies, long-buried secrets come to light . . . and Judith's world starts to shift on its axis. Before she knows it, Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if what she has to say might change her world, and the lives around her, forever.

"Pretty good"

Lea

"At first, I hated it. There was absolutely NO context to the story, so I didn’t have a single ******* clue what was going on until I reached page 27. Even then, a lot was still very unclear. Very slowly it began to come together. <br/>I don’t like period pieces and wish I had known it wasn’t told in present time, as I never would have picked it up. BUT as much as I did not enjoy the beginning, or even the middle, 2/3rd’s of the way through I did begin to like the characters and the story. Judith was resilient and wise, and her bond with Lucas and Darrell warmed my cold little heart. The ending was lovely."

"If you liked Lovely War you will fall in love with this book. It pulls you in and you are rewarded by a suspenseful story about a girl in north east America in colonial times"

"This was the first book I read in second person. It is such an interesting way to feel connected to a character on a much more personal level."
