The Garden Of Second Chances: A Novel

Juana, a seventeen-year-old mother, is sentenced to prison for murdering her husband. She claims she's innocent--but no one believes her, including the prison staff and a gang leader in her block who torments her. Juana's troubles aren't confined to prison, however--she's undocumented, and her husband's bereaved family is now threatening to take her baby from her forever. Feeling hemmed in on all sides and desperate to stay out of trouble, Juana creates her own refuge in the prison yard: a garden she created. As she digs in the soil, nurturing the plants, she remembers her courageous, long-deceased mother, who she knows would never give in or give up. Juana's only hope for saving herself and her baby is to prove her innocence--but how?
