The Truth According to Us Author: Annie Barrows Many, many novels choose that young pre-teenage protagonist with whimsical and tragic parents and I thought perhaps this was another re-do on that all American theme by Annie Barrows. I was wrong. Willa Romelyn, twelve, does delight us in the tantalizing way that Scout and Idgie have done in previous generations, and yet, Barrows creates a different and unique glow in precocious Willa. The Romelyns were once a first family in ... continue reading...
