Woman beginning to cry 'I love America!' - and it's true (9)
I believe the answer is:
veracious
'it's true' is the definition.
('veracious' can be similar in meaning to 'true')
'woman beginning to cry i love america' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'vera' (a woman's name).
'beginning to' suggests taking the first letters.
'i love america' becomes 'ious' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'cry' is 'c'.
'vera'+'c'+'ious'='VERACIOUS'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for veracious that I've seen before include "truthful" , "Honest" , "Unvarnished" .)
