Exploring love amidst identity, class, and religion.

"True Believer," as your next read, invites you on a thoughtful journey with LaVaughn as she navigates complex emotions and the challenging dynamics of adolescence. Virginia Euwer Wolff crafts characters with depth, in a setting that brings to life the struggles and triumphs of growing up in a housing project. This tale is an insightful exploration of self-discovery and the intricate patterns of young love, couched within the oft-ignored realities of social class and gender identity — a beautifully written reminder of the poignant messiness of youth.

Description

LaVaughn is fifteen now, and she's still fiercely determined to go to college. But that's the only thing she's sure about. Loyalty to her father bubbles up as her mother grows closer to a new man. The two girls she used to do everything with have chosen a path LaVaughn wants no part of. And then there's Jody. LaVaughn can't believe how gorgeous he is...or how confusing. He acts like he's in love with her, but is he?
