In this near-future searing indictment of the juvenile justice system, one incarcerated girl 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 an accident that leaves her baby sister dead, Violetta is incarcerated. As a juvenile offender, her fate lies in the hands of those she's wronged-her family. With their forgiveness, she could go home immediately with no record to speak of. 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, potentially regaining her freedom and what she wants most of all, her family's love. But the Trials are no easy feat and in the quest to prove her remorse, Violetta is forced to confront not only her family's pain, but her own-and whether their forgiveness is more important than forgiving herself.
