Listen, youre young. We dont send kids to jail. If you had something to do with this, its better to tell us. Then we can help you. Maybe it was a friend of yours come to take care of things for you. Youve got a nasty bruise there, and your neighbors told us that you tend to get a lot of bruises. We take those things into account, you know. We understand about things like that.You dont understand anything, Jude said.After Jude watches his drugdealer father get gunned down at the kitchen table, hes taken from their dangerous neighborhood to a comfortable home, an elite private school, and a mother he doesnt remember. Only fifteen, Jude is under suspicion for his fathers murder, but to save his own life, he cant tell the police what he knows.To make things worse, Judes mother is the district attorney. She can protect him from the police but when Judes classmate overdoses on heroin, Jude is implicated, and his mother decides to prosecute. Jude is determined to clear his name, though he doesnt know that mysteries from his past have yet to be revealed secrets that will forever alter the course of his life.Judes gripping story is at once moving and horrifying as it traces a young mans quest for acceptance and his incredible capacity for hope and resilience. Kate Morgenroth, whose adult novels have been called nearly impossible to put down byTime Out New Yorkand compulsively readable byEntertainment Weekly,here shows more of her considerable talent.
