The Good People of Coralville

By Lazette Gifford

Being a foster kid is hard enough. Being accused of crimes you didn't commit? That's Coralville.

Tony's counting down the days until his eighteenth birthday and the freedom that comes with it. He's been through too many homes, too many rules, and far too many people waiting for him to mess up. His plan? Keep his head down, stay out of trouble, and disappear the moment he turns legal.

But Coralville has other plans.

When a rash of thefts hits the town and suspicion falls squarely on him, Tony's life takes a sharp, painful turn. His foster parents don't trust him, the town whispers behind his back, and the police seem to think they've got their culprit. Tony knows he's innocent--but in a town that judges first and listens never, proving it might be harder than surviving the system.

Can Tony clear his name before Coralville becomes just another chapter in a life full of blame? Or will the good people of Coralville bury the truth with their assumptions?
