The Truth

The Truth is presented as the journal of a young girl who is 11 years old. Developmentally this is a period of time between childhood and adolescence during which the child has an opportunity to experience her own competence, to experiment a bit with life, and to begin to question authorities. The stories presented as vignettes or diary entries join together developmentally as an illustration of types of experience that a child might have had at this age, growing up in the 50s and 60s. Reading and enjoying The Truth, the plethora of opportunities presented to, and embraced by, this girl will stir in you profound recognition of your own early opportunities. What memories they will evoke, what excitement, what expectation!Becker Holstein, Barbara is the author of 'The Truth', published 2007 under ISBN 9780979895203 and ISBN 0979895200.
