All the Truth That's in Me

By Julie Berry

Book Overview

From the Printz honor winning author of The Passion of Dolssa, a mesmerizing story about fear, love, and the power of a young woman's voice.

"All the Truth That's In Me is that rare magical thing--a beautiful love story told in spare, riveting prose."--The New York Journal of Books

"The love story and the mystery . . . are mesmerizing. Berry's language undulates and flows. . . . Worthy of multiple reads."--The Boston Globe

Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to 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, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever.

The paperback edition includes an exclusive interview with the author and a list of discussion questions for book clubs.

Customer Reviews

This is my all time favorite book. Like no joke. It is captivating and with such raw emotion that even when I read books now, they don't even come close to this book. And with it being in second person, Judith is talking to her love, her crush. But it isn't one sappy romance it is exquisite and it made my heart swell. I couldn't put it down and I read it in two days. It still has a place on my heart and it always will.
