From debut author Janae Marks comes a captivating story full of heart, as one courageous girl questions assumptions, searches for the truth, and does what she believes is right—even in the face of great opposition.
Zoe Washington isn’t sure what to write. What does a girl say to the father she’s never met, hadn’t heard from until his letter arrived on her twelfth birthday, and who’s been in prison for a terrible crime?
A crime he says he never committed.
Could Marcus really be innocent? Zoe is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means hiding his letters and her investigation from the rest of her family. Everyone else thinks Zoe’s worrying about doing a good job at her bakery internship and proving to her parents that she’s worthy of auditioning for Food Network’s Kids Bake Challenge.
But with bakery confections on one part of her mind, and Marcus’s conviction weighing heavily on the other, this is one recipe Zoe doesn’t know how to balance. The only thing she knows to be true: Everyone lies.
""When Marcus tells Zoe he is innocent, and her grandmother agrees, Zoe begins to learn about inequality in the criminal justice system, and she sets out to find the alibi witness who can prove his innocence."" (Publishers Weekly, ""An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List"")

이 책은 가족사랑에 대한 책이다. 이 책의 줄거리는 주인공인 zoe의 아빠가 무죄로 감옥에 가 있다. 그리고 zoe는 그런 아빠를 구하려 한다. 할머니는 zoe를 도와주시지만 엄마는 반대하시고 꺼려하신다. 그리고 아빠를 죄인이라고 생각하고 그로 인해 zoe를 보호하려 한다. 하지만 zoe는 친구와 아빠를 구하려고 하버드 대학을 가기도 하고 이리저리 뛰어다닌다. 결국 아빠는 무죄로 재판을 받고 엄마와 아빠는 다시 항복하게 지내게 된다. 이 책은 다시 한번 읽어도 좋을 책이다. 이 책 정말 강추이다.
