📖✨ CENTER OF THE STORY: Truth Like the Sun

Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair promised a glimpse of the future. In Jim Lynch’s Truth Like the Sun, that glittering moment in Seattle history becomes the backdrop for a story about ambition, reinvention and what happens when the past gets a second look.

The novel moves between the excitement of the World’s Fair and Seattle decades later, following Roger Morgan, a charismatic young promoter of the fair whose carefully told version of history begins to unravel when a journalist starts asking questions.

☀️ Truth Like the Sun by Jim Lynch

Special thanks to our friends at Seattle Public Library for lending us the book for our Center of the Story series, and to the Seattle Municipal Archives for the incredible vintage footage that helped us step back into 1962.

📖 What Seattle story should we find on our shelves next?
