Forgive Me Not
“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.” — publisher

“Handsome, privileged, and intelligent, eighteen-year-old David Fang is about to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities. The aspiring novelist is spending his last summer before college volunteering at a Christian sleepaway camp in upstate New York as penance for crashing his mother’s car into the family garage. However, what his family and friends back in New Jersey don’t know is that he is also seducing his married housekeeper, pitching his manuscript to a suspected pedophile, and igniting a divorce, manslaughter, and a suicide.” -publisher
