Descriere magazin:
It is 1950, and 15-year-old Kate Dinsmore wants to become a journalist. But, her tobacco-farming father can\'t afford to send her to college. She devises a plan to move from rural North Carolina to her wealthy grandparents\' home in Charlotte in hopes of gaining their financial support. Now she has a new set of problems. How can she please her society-conscious grandmother and conform to her new classmates\' lifestyles? She meets Lillian, her grandmother\'s teenage maid, and in spite of their racial differences, they form a tentative friendship. While exploring her grandmother\'s attic, Kate unearths a secret that rocks her world and Lillian\'s too. The shocking discovery reveals half-truths that threaten the girls\' friendship. What will Kate do when she must choose between Lillian and her new society friends? Through a mentorship with a newspaper editor, Kate realizes that journalism requires honesty. But, the risks of truth-telling make Kate question herself. If she reveals what she has learned, what price will she pay? ⚠ Content Rating for Half-Truths - Young Adult Half-Truths is a historical fiction novel for young adult readers (13+), set in the 1950s American South.
