A heartbreaking, triumphant, funny and hopeful story of one girl's battle with self harm.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Charlie Davis is in pieces. At seventeen, she's already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime.<br/><br/> But she's learned how to forget it through cutting; the pain washes out the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. She doesn't have to think about her father or what happened under the bridge. Her best friend, Ellis, who is gone forever<br/><br/>Or the mother who has nothing left to give her. Kicked out of a special treatment center when her insurance runs out, Charlie finds herself in the bright and wild landscape of Tucson, Arizona, where she begins the unthinkable: the long journey of putting herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow is also the author of How to Make Friends with the Dark and You'd be Home Now.<br/><br/><br/><br/>'A haunting, beautiful and necessary book' Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything

John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, who has dedicated his life to exonerating innocent people, to uncover stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice. All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true. Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wife&rsquo;s murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself &ndash; despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed. Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges. And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars.
