All The Truth That's In Me by Julie Berry

Most children don't even know Judith's name.  Judith lives in a small, sleepy town with her mother and brother.  She is still in love with Lucas, her childhood sweetheart, even though his father held her captive for two years; and Lucas is betrothed to another.  Judith knows the truth about a lot of strange events that remain a mystery to everyone else but she was silenced by her ruthless captor when he mutilated her tongue.  But when the homelanders attack her town in hopes of attaining the fertile soil.  Judith knows that in order to save her love's life she might have to give up her own.
All the Truth that's in Me is a slightly disturbing novel because Judith talks about her mutilated tongue.  Julie Berry sets the book in an upsettingly vague setting.  The book is kind of confusing at times because the setting is vague and changes abruptly without you knowing.  I would give this book three out of five stars because the plot is good but it is confusing.  This book also has some adult topics.  I would recommend this to grades 6 and up
