Commentary Supposing Books The Truthful Story

When ten-year-old Genevieve Donovan's Nannie dies mysteriously in the Lowcountry river she's loved and lived near all her life, Genny and her family are heartbroken.

In 1960s South Carolina, new industry is encroaching on old country, and Genny fears her grandmother may have gotten in the way of so-called progress. Even Daduh, Nannie's dearest friend and longtime housekeeper, doesn't know what to make of Nannie's death. Was it an accident, or did the drunkard son of a local businessman play a role? What's more, ever since Nannie passed, Genny has been hearing and seeing things she's not sure she can share with anyone except her mother, whose own grief is making it harder and harder to get through to her.

Seeking answers, longing for guidance, and unsure if Mama will ever be the same again, Genny gingerly forges a path out of childhood and into adolescence. As Genny struggles to understand justice, healing, and a world in which Nannie is gone but still present, The Truthful Story traces a family's difficult journey through the pain of loss and the survival of love.

Evaluation Regarding Books The Truthful Story

Poor plot development, story wanders and then just ends.

I really enjoyed this book about Genevieve, an 11 year-old who has the "gift" of communicating with her deceased grandmother. It is really the story of a southern family and the love they share. There is also murder and attempted murder to add mystery. The book reveals real bonds between not only the family members and their employees, but the members of the community. There is a real sense of "looking out for each other". I recommend this book as it was an enjoyable read.

Nice, easy read that will make you feel like you're smack in the middle of the lowcountry. At times the story seems too insightful to be told by a ten-year-old narrator, but the characters are well-developed and complex. There are moments when things seem a little over-explained, but overall the slowly-building suspense will keep you reading to the end. Not a book to put a lot of thought into, but a great beach read or the perfect book to curl up with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa on a cold

10 year old Gienevieve Donovan has a very special relationship with her Grandmother - before her Grandmother's death and even after. This is the sweet story of her coming of age in 1960's South Carolina.

The Truthful Story is a deliciously worded tale of a young girl and her mysterious ability to connect to the beyond. Set in the mid sixties in South Carolina, it is the perfect read for a cold day and a hot cup of tea. Stine brings her characters to life with her artful descriptions and careful plot development. This is a warm, intriguing book that leaves the reader full and satisfied.

Helen Stine grew up in Charleston, SC and received her undergraduate degree in English from the College of Charleston, where she gained inspiration from Southern writers such as Carson McCullers and Harper Lee. After college, she received her MA in Education/Counseling. Her life as a military spouse, raising two children, traveling, and her career in early childhood education kept her away fromlately, I only give books a five star review if it moves me to tears or if I can't stop thinking about the characters even days later. this book made me cry THREE times, two of which I was in a cafe so I'm sure I looked like a weirdo trying to hold it together in public. such a great story and very suspenseful, so so well-written!

Love a book that will take me to another time and place. Great characters, especially Genevieve. Loved the relationship between her and her Nannie.
