In truth she goes to the city (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in truth she' is the definition.
'vera' can be an answer for 'she' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'in truth' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vera that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Dame -- Lynn, singer" , "A girl to rave about" , "& 16 'The Forces' Sweetheart'" , "Girl's name (meaning faith or true)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
