​
A raw, gripping, authentic, and boldly original novel about a fifteen-year-old Texas girl set to stand trial for murder—and the one person who might be able to help her clear her name.
Told through a collection of letters, meeting notes, news articles, court transcripts, and more, Girls Like Her is a tale of the truths so often lost in the American justice system, and one girl’s fight to be heard.
