True to Form

Thirteen-year-old Katie Nash is not looking forward to her summer. Her father has enlisted her in two difficult jobs--babysitting the rambunctious Wexler children and looking after her elderly, bedridden neighbor. Luckily, she does have something to look forward to: a trip to her Texas hometown to visit her best friend Cherylanne. But people and places change, and Katie is devastated to realize Cherylanne is no exception. A summer of upheaval for both a young girl and the country at large, True to Form is a relatable and evocative "journey of self-discovery and personal redemption" -|The Seattle Times|-.
