St. Martin's Press 12/1/2020. New hardcover. in Brand New jacket. Store pick: I was captivated on the first page, and read most of this book in one sitting. This was a haunting story about four young boys who are accused of raping a young girl with a genetic facial defect. But, its a much deeper story than just the accusations and the trial. Its a story of prejudices, and racial and religious unrest. Its compelling and disturbing. And when one young attorney attempts to break away from the old customs, shes ridiculed, shunned, and ultimately beaten. This is a thought-provoking story. Its a story of hate; its a story of lies; its a story of family traditions, and, its a story about a brave young attorney who defies all reason in the name of justice. Be preparedthis powerfully and brilliantly written story will shake you to the core. -Nancy H., store volunteer reader
