On the first day of eighth grade, thirteen year-old Layla has a pretty good idea of what's in store for her-another year of awkward social situations, mediocre grades, and teachers who praise her good behavior but find her academic performance disappointing. Layla feels certain she's capable of more, but each time she tries to read or write, the words on the page dance and spin, changing partners and leaving her to sit on the sidelines. This year will be different in ways Layla could never have predicted. Her new English teacher, Mr. McCarthy, senses her potential. When he pushes her to succeed, Layla almost rises to the challenge before making a desperate choice that nearly costs her everything she's gained. Will she be able to get back on track? And who can she count on to help her?
New York City public defender Liana Cohen seems to have it all. An Ivy-league law degree, a devoted boyfriend, and even an apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But something's just not right. Representing hardened criminals and repeat offenders has chipped away at her faith in both herself and the justice system. And despite their love, Liana is not certain that Jakob is the one.
Enter imprisoned felon Danny Shea, whose unforgivable crime would raise a moral conflict in an attorney at the height of her idealism?and that hasn't been Liana in quite a while. Danny's astonishing blend of good looks, intelligence, and vulnerability intrigues Liana. Could he be the innocent client she's been longing for? As their relationship transforms into something less than arms' length, Liana is forced to confront fundamental questions of truth, faith and love?and to decide who she wants to be.
