True to Form: A Novel

An act of betrayal leaves a teenaged girl in 1961 wondering if the only person she can ever truly trust is herself in the finale of the "rich...timeless" (The New Yorker) Katie Nash series.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).
