Advance praise for
The Truth Is

“In her luminous, raw, and open-hearted exploration of identity, grief and first love, NoNieqa Ramos has created an unforgettable character in Verdad. The Truth Is offers a complex look at a brilliant, queer, neurodifferent girl, the mother who loves but doesn’t understand her, and a fabulously drawn group of street kids who can’t save themselves but just might save her. A brilliantly written breathtaking book. I couldn’t put it down!”

—Michelle Ruiz-Keil, author of All of Us with Wings
