Lost in Innocence
Seven people died when Riverbend Bridge collapsed. One woman was blamed. And the truth was buried long before the trial began.
Josie Hartwell spent her career asking difficult questions and refusing to accept answers that didn't add up. Now those same questions have been turned against her.
Convicted of financial crimes and responsibility for seven deaths, Josie is sentenced to thirty-four years in a Virginia prison for crimes she insists she never committed.
Her husband, a respected company executive, remains free. Her reputation is destroyed. And the world has already decided she's guilty.
Inside Red Clay Correctional Center, Josie discovers that innocence offers little protection. Survival means learning whom to trust, when to stand her ground, and when to remain silent.
But among the prison's harsh realities, unexpected friendships begin to change everything. A fiercely loyal inmate becomes her closest friend. A disgraced former defence lawyer challenges everything Josie believes about guilt, forgiveness and justice.
Meanwhile, outside the prison walls, fragments of forgotten evidence begin to surface. Someone has been hiding the truth about Riverbend.
And the closer Josie comes to uncovering it, the more she realises that proving her innocence may be only part of the battle.
Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't surviving prison. It's discovering what remains of your life when the truth finally comes out.
Lost in Innocence is a gripping, deeply human legal thriller about betrayal, resilience, friendship and the extraordinary strength of ordinary people.
