Patty True doesn't want to leave. Tonight is her family's last dinner at the True farm before they move to a new town. When Grandma sends her to gather blackberries for a special cobbler, Patty discovers a world of adventure waiting for her on Sourland Mountain. Inspired by the real lives of Black farming families in Central New Jersey, Growing Up True is a story of home, resilience, and the love we carry with us wherever we go.
