GIVE ME SOME TRUTH

In alternate chapters, Eric Gansworth and Brittany LeBorgne narrate from the perspectives of two teens living on the Tuscarora reservation. Carson is a confident high school senior who wants to win Battle of the Bands and live out his dreams in the city. The author delivers his chapters in a gravelly voice with a lot of heart. LeBorgne's clear and emphatic narration makes us feel young Maggi's longing to be taken seriously as an artist and a young woman, as well as her need to find her place on the reservation after seven years away. Neither narrator provides a great deal of differentiation between the characters, but listeners will quickly be drawn into a realistic story of music, identity, and trust.
