{"product_id":"a-truth-worth-tellin-9780615308227","title":"A Truth Worth Tellin'","description":"New author Toni Teepell's debut, A Truth Worth Tellin', is a story of unconditional love. It chronicles a family who triumphs in the midst of utter tragedy and a true friendship between two likeminded souls. At twelve-years-old Maggie Wall is on the brink of blooming when she learns how to swallow a spoonful of fate. While she knows that no one can be blamed for her mother's schizophrenia, it is not easy being her daughter. Still, there are a lot worse things than facing crazy and she is certain that the truth really does set folks free. Maggie's father is her anchor and Samantha, Maggie's cigar smoking, candy-stealing friend, is her summer's ultimate challenge. Through Maggie, Samantha is able to be a little more honest as she comes to grips with her own mother, an abusive drunk who is known to take just as many swings as she does swigs. With a prose that is decidedly Delta, this gripping Louisiana tale marks a bold new voice in modern Southern literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fresh Fruit,Toni Teepell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramsay Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615308227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e139413 \/ Truth Worth Tellin'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana Young Readers' Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToni Teepell was born and raised in Louisiana.
