In this searing indictment of the juvenile justice system, one teen
in detention weighs what she is willing to endure for forgiveness.
All it took was one night and one bad decision for fifteen-year-old
Violetta Chen-Samuels’ life to go off the rails. After driving
drunk and causing the accident that kills her little sister,
Violetta is incarcerated. Under the juvenile justice system, her
fate lies in the hands of those she’s wronged—her family. With
their forgiveness, she could go home. But without it?
Well . . . Denied their forgiveness, Violetta is
now left with two options, neither good—remain in juvenile
detention for an uncertain sentence or participate in the Trials.
The Trials are no easy feat, but if she succeeds, she could regain
both her freedom and what she wants most of all: her family’s
love. In her quest to prove her remorse, Violetta is forced to
confront not only her family’s grief, but her own—and the
question of whether their forgiveness is more important than
forgiving herself.
