True Confessions of a Heartless Girl

Jeannette Ordas

A wonderfully Canadian novel with a teenage girl making mistake after mistake and the small town that takes her in. Full of heart. 4.5 stars.

Summary: Even when Noreen Stall has the best intentions, it seems that she screws everything up. And when she makes so many mistakes that she starts to hate herself, she runs from the people who love her. When she runs away from her boyfriend, taking his truck, money and unborn baby, she finds herself in the small town of Pembina Lake. There she lands in the rundown café owned by Lynda Bradley, a single mother of a three-year-old boy, Seth. Lynda is struggling to make sense of a life that could have been so much more. She lets Noreen stay the night and, in doing so, unleashes a series of events that force the people in the town to take a look at their own lives.

Powerful and unforgettable characters. A very poignant read!
