It Rhymes With Truth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990770904)

Sometimes the truth sets us free. But most of the time, it's the scariest thing in the world - so scary it keeps us on the run for our entire lives.

Which is why, when an eight-and-a-half-year-old homeless boy and an eccentric elderly woman trapped in a retirement community forge a fragile bond and become each other's accidental family, they only have one rule: never speak about before.

But the truth has a way of catching up to us, spoken or unspoken. And when the pair's bond is tested, they may finally have to face their pasts. Or they could just run like hell. Their fateful decisions lead to misadventures that include a 30 mile taxi ride, smuggled brownies, angry bees, a soundtrack by Cole Porter, and a rising body count that is (mostly) not their fault.

It Rhymes With Truth is the story of two people wrestling with their pasts while they struggle with a vexing question: Is it possible to truly save someone else who may not want to be saved? This beguiling, haunting first novel by Rich Miller will stick with you long after the final page. This is the rare book makes you laugh out loud before breaking your heart, mending it, then putting it back in your chest with a different heartbeat.
