Details

The tabloids are desperate for any information they can find about the recently released Jenny Jones: now sixteen, she was arrested at age ten for the murder of another girl. Details about the killing are all over the papers, and columnists are asking whether she even deserves a second chance. Jenny follows the story in the news-she has begun a new life under a new name and is terrified of being discovered. She finally has her first boyfriend, a job, and a roommate she trusts with her secret. Will she lose it all?

She is living with Rosie, a social worker who knows about Alice’s history and genuinely seems to care for her. Alice has a job she likes in a coffee shop, a serious boyfriend, and plans to attend college. Still, she can’t stop thinking about the past, her previous existence as Jennifer Jones, and her relationship with her mother, who frequently abandoned her to the care of others, left her emotionally neglected, and exposed her to a life filled with boyfriends and inappropriate actions. Haunted by memories and hounded by the fear that the tabloids will discover her new identity, Alice struggles to move forward and begin a new life. Topics Interpersonal relationships. Friendship.
