“Half-Truths is more than just a story; it is a call to action for young minds to question, to seek the truth, and to forge their paths amidst the half-truths that life presents. This book promises to resonate deeply with readers, inspiring them to confront their truths and understand the world around them with greater clarity and compassion. It’s a powerful reminder that they can shape their own narratives and make a difference in the world.” –Midwest Book Review
“The central conflict is multifaceted: Katie’s struggle for independence and education, the conflict of racial inequality, the fight for civil rights, and the hidden family secrets that intertwine. The first- person narrative voice gives the story an intimate tone, connecting the reader emotionally with the narrator. The themes of truth, prejudice, identity, and the power of words are explored through Katie’s experiences and nascent journalism. Half-Truths is unique and original, and the skillful plotting and deft characterization give the book literary merit.”—Readers Favorite Review- 5 star
