Description

In a series of letters to a man he’s never met, a teenager grapples with fear, injustice, and the painful gap between how the world looks on paper and how it feels in real life. After a life-altering incident thrusts him into the criminal justice system, he searches for answers—about race, identity, and what it means to be innocent when society has already decided otherwise. Blending intimate voice with urgent social commentary, this novel explores empathy, moral courage, and the power of ordinary people to challenge systems that harm them. Nic Stone’s sharp, contemporary storytelling brings emotional immediacy to themes of civil rights and belonging, making this a compelling read that resonates long after the final page.
