The Gospel Truth was recommended by my teen granddaughter. She's not an avid reader but this book spoke to her. It's a Y/A book and written in prose poem style, so I wasn't sure but I gave it a try and am I ever happy I did. Fabulous! It's one of those books that could as easily go into an adult library. I want to buy it now and re-read it for the language. It resonated on so many levels. It's heartbreaking what blacks had to go through in the USA during the times of slavery. Highly recommended.
