We do not all grow up with a clear idea of who we might become. Life’s experiences help us 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 to find “something true," but has no idea what that is. Then come personal tragedies and the First World War and Katharine's need to find something meaningful is magnified.

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.

A. J. B. Johnston is an award-winning Canadian historian and novelist. For his books on French colonial history in Atlantic Canada, France made him a chevalier of its Ordre des Palmes Académiques. His three Thomas Pichon Novels explore ambition, longing and betrayal in 18th-century France and England. His YA novel The Hat is a 21st-century re-interpretation of the Acadian Deportation.
