Three Things I Know Are True

By: Betty Culley

Narrated by: Cassandra Morris

Fans of Jandy Nelson and Marieke Nijkamp will love this deeply moving novel in verse about the aftermath of a gun accident.

Life changes forever for Liv when her older brother, Jonah, accidentally shoots himself with his best friend Clay’s father’s gun. Now Jonah needs round-the-clock care just to stay alive, and Liv feels like she’s the only person who can see that her brother is still there inside his broken body.

With Liv’s mom suing Clay’s family, there are divisions in the community that Liv knows she’s not supposed to cross. But Clay is her friend, too, and she refuses to turn away from him—just like she refuses to give up on Jonah.

This powerful novel is a stunning exploration of tragedy, grief, compassion, and forgiveness.

Amazing book!

I highly, highly recommend this book. Beautifully written and performed, an incredible debut novel and I can't wait to read more from Betty Culley!

Narrator and Author

Culley’s incredible poetry within this story and her choice of Cassandra Morris as the narrator definitely work hand in hand in staying totally tuned in throughout this book. Her descriptions of landscape, the river, neighborhood, characters, the life rolling tide of good and bad,
and so much more held my attention to the end.
Excellent listen !
