Summary:
We do not all grow up with a clear idea of who we might become. It usually takes life experiences to figure it out. Katharine is the youngest child in a prominent family on Cape Breton Island at the turn of the 20th century. While her older siblings move easily into adult roles, Katharine does not. She is shy and unable to figure out what to do with her life. She wants
something
that feels "
true
" to her, but has no idea what that is. All she knows is that becoming someone's wife—the most obvious choice in the early 1900s—holds no appeal. Then come personal tragedies and the First World War. Katharine's need to find
something
meaningful is magnified. She wants to go overseas to help the Allied troops, but her father refuses. Katharine has to find the inner strength to simply insist.
Something
True
is an inspiring, coming-of-age
novel
that puts the reader into late 19th- and early 20th-century Cape Breton Island and into France in the midst of the First World War.

Canadian fiction.
