"After spending 6 months in jail for the wrongful conviction of murdering his girlfriend, Michael finds that it is not easy to escape being judged, even when you are innocent." -- Youth Services Team, HPL.

"Michael Grove was sixteen years old when he was convicted for the murder of Lisa Conroy, the girlfriend he loved very much. The circumstances surrounding her final hours attract considerable media attention, especially because Michael and Lisa had sex just prior to her death. A public outcry against light penalties for young offenders ensures Michael is tried as an adult; he receives a harsh and severe penalty. Six months into his imprisonment, the true murderer confesses. Michael is released but quickly finds that the stigma of imprisonment and the (wrongful) rap for murder is not an easy thing to escape out on the streets." --From the publisher.

Canadian fiction.
