"Justice doesn't heal. But it can transform."
Sechaba More-Sebeko is nineteen when a violent robbery leaves a man paralyzed and children traumatized. After his grandmother's death, her final letter forces him to surrender-beginning a seven-year journey from crime through prison to redemption. But his victim will never walk again. Some harm can't be undone. This unflinching trilogy asks: Can someone who caused irreparable damage ever truly change? And what does justice look like when punishment and transformation collide?
"You destroyed my body, but if you can emerge from prison as someone who prevents future harm, then some small good will have come from this terrible situation."
-Mr. Mathews, to his attacker
This is restorative justice in fiction form-complex, uncomfortable, and ultimately hopeful.
