\"\"All it took was one night and one bad decision for fifteen-year-old Violetta Chen-Samuels\u2019 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\u2019s wronged\u2014her family. With their forgiveness, she could go home. But without it? Well\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Denied their forgiveness, Violetta is now left with two options, neither good\u2014remain 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\u2019s love. In her quest to prove her remorse, Violetta is forced to confront not only her family\u2019s grief, but her own\u2014and the question of whether their forgiveness is more important than forgiving herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cJennifer Baker crafts a riveting, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive tale with nuanced characters that are perfectly flawed and relatable.\u00a0Forgive Me Not<\/em>\u00a0is an astute social commentary on the juvenile justice system and a powerful reflection on who deserves second chances. A groundbreaking debut that will stay with the reader long after the story ends.\u201d\u00a0 \u2014Ren\u00e9e Watson, #1\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author,\u00a0The 1619 Project: Born on the Water<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"Life can change in an instant.
\nWhen you\u2019re wrongfully accused of a crime.
\nWhen a virus shuts everything down.
\nWhen the girl you love moves on.<\/p>\n

Andre Jackson is determined to reclaim his identity. But returning from juvie doesn\u2019t feel like coming home. His Portland, Oregon, neighborhood is rapidly gentrifying, and COVID-19 shuts down school before he can return. And Andre\u2019s suspicions about his arrest for a crime he didn\u2019t commit even taint his friendships. It\u2019s as if his whole life has been erased.<\/p>\n

The one thing Andre is counting on is his relationship with the Whitaker kids\u2014especially his longtime crush, Sierra. But Sierra\u2019s brother Eric is missing, and the facts don\u2019t add up as their adoptive parents fight to keep up the act that their racially diverse family is picture-perfect. If Andre can find Eric, he just might uncover the truth about his own arrest. But in a world where power is held by a few and Andre is nearly invisible, searching for the truth is a dangerous game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrilling and poignant,\u00a0Invisible Son<\/em>\u00a0will make your heart pound and break all at once.\u201d \u2013Karen McManus, #1\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author<\/h3>\n
