True to Form
An act of betrayal leaves a teenaged girl in 1961 wondering if the only person she can ever truly trust is herself in the finale of the "rich...timeless" (The New Yorker) Katie Nash series.
Thirteen-year-old Katie Nash is not looking forward to her summer. Her father has enlisted her in two difficult jobs--babysitting the rambunctious Wexler children and looking after her elderly, bedridden neighbor.
Luckily, she does have something to look forward to: a trip to her Texas hometown to visit her best friend Cherylanne. But people and places change, and Katie is devastated to realize Cherylanne is no exception.
A summer of upheaval for both a young girl and the country at large, True to Form is a relatable and evocative "journey of self-discovery and personal redemption" (The Seattle Times).

Praise for this book
"In Katie, Berg has created a narrator true to adolescent form at a time when the larger world was beginning to change dramatically."-- "Chicago Tribune"
"Elizabeth Berg, as usual, explores her main character in detail. Readers develop sympathy for Katie on her journey of self-discovery and personal redemption."-- "The Seattle Times"
"Katie Nash is someone we can relate to, especially if we are of an age to be nostalgic about Pat Boone, Prell shampoo and Green Stamps. . . . Plus, to give Berg her due, she (or Katie, if you prefer) is capable of some lovely writing."-- "Chicago Sun-Times"
"[W]ritten with great tenderness and understanding . . . [True to Form] takes readers back to their own days of awakening. . . . It flows with grace and beauty and a clarity that have not been so inspiring since some of the classicists."-- "The Communicator"
