ALL THE TRUTH THAT'S IN ME

This is a story about love, redemption, and the unwavering strength of the human spirit.

In the tradition of The Scarlet Letter and Speak, in which the heroine has been silenced by tragedy and is now an outcast in her morally rigid alternate Colonial universe; told entirely in the second person, as if a love letter, to the boy who indirectly started all the trouble.

A few notes from the editor:

STARTLINGLY ORIGINAL VOICE
Here’s what makes the voice of this novel so utterly original: It’s written in the second person, a rarely-used voice; it’s addressed entirely to the main character’s crush, like a book-length love letter never sent; it’s broken into tiny chapters, some only a few sentences; the main character speaks only to the reader—she’s unable to talk.
GENRE-BENDER
Is Lucas a story of true love, desperate longing, and unquenchable passion? Yes. Is Lucas a page-turning murder mystery? Yes. Is Lucas a compelling story of one girl’s recovery from a grotesque trauma and her journey to reclaiming her identity? Yes!
BREAKOUT
To call this Julie Berry’s breakout is an understatement. This book is totally different from her previous works and the most exciting novel to have crossed my desk in a long time.
