The title of the book written by C. L. Poehlmann, my 4th cousin, 1x removed, is Truth. Thus, it seems fitting that I should start with a confession: I did not read the entire book.

There’s nothing wrong with it. Eventually, I’ll go back and pick up where I left off. It’s a perfectly good story. From what I’ve read so far, the characters are believable and the plot is well-structured. The main character is a sixteen-year-old girl named “Ruthy”. She is a typical teenage girl but something tells me the story is about to take a very dark turn.

Since this was not intended to be a blog about book reviews and I have stacks of genealogy books waiting to be read, I’ll stick to commending C. L. for her accomplishment. I don’t have the discipline to write a novel or the constitution to endure rejections from publishers. She must have both traits.

C. L. and I have never met. Should the occasion arise, however, I promise I’ll have finished the book by then.
