Neuware -In this searing indictment of the juvenile justice system, one incarcerated teen 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. 382 pp. Englisch.
