Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared in their town of Roswell Station. Two years later, Judith was back with her tongue cut out and her friend was found by the river, naked and dead. Her family blames her for the suicide of her father and the whole community ignores her because she's considered a curse. Pouring out her thoughts to a boy that she loved back from her early childhood, All the Truth That's In Me talks about the two faces of religion, men and love.
Well I have to say that what pushed me to pick up this book was the front cover. It looks intriguing and the title catches your attention right away. Set a couple of centuries ago, the story itself was touching and nostalgic and written so beautifully that you will find yourself lost in Berry's prose. There is no actual chronology; it jumps back-and-forth from the past to a even further past and is told in a second person narrative. I only wished that Berry would've made the conclusion a little longer--it felt way too rushed.
4.5 stars
