Story4 out of 5 stars 98
Stefan was just seventeen when he went to prison for the drug-fueled murder of his girlfriend, Belinda. Three years later, he’s released to a world that refuses to let him move on. Belinda’s mother, once Thea’s good friend, galvanizes the community to rally against him to protest in her daughter’s memory. The media paints Stefan as a symbol of white privilege and indifferent justice. Neighbors, employers, even some members of Thea's own family turn away.

I loved the story and I only had minor problems with the story but it was in the details nothing super huge. this could be that I from Wisconsin, live not far from where the female institution is and know the distance of how close it is to Fox Lake. I love how this makes you think about criminal justice reform and what it does to small communities.
