About this ebook

A heartwarming and poignant story that explores the bonds of family and the importance of knowing your own history, from the critically acclaimed author of My Life with the Liars and the ALA Notable Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time

Alma has everything she needs, except answers to her questions. Her mother won’t tell her why her beloved stepfather, Adam, is suddenly gone this summer. Or about life in Portugal, where her parents met. Not even about her father, who Alma cannot find, no matter how many graveyards she searches with her best friend, Julia.

Then Alma’s mother shocks her by moving them both to Lisbon so Alma can fall in love with the vibrant city where her father grew up. There she discovers she has more family than she could have imagined.

She hopes Portugal holds the answers she’s been desperately searching for, but it turns out finding the truth may be more complicated than she, or her mother, bargained for.

One speck of truth was such an amazing book I definitely enjoyed it. Its about when Alma has been searching her whole life for her "dead" dad even though he was never dead. Her best friend Julia was helping her search in every grave yard looking for her dad. She gets the new that Alma and her mom are moving to Portugal and she lives on top of her cousin apartment. She then soon meets her dad and her mom tells her about everything and the ending is so beautiful Her best friend and Adam come down to visit Alam and her mom in Portugal. At the end she is super happy to have her loved ones by her side.
