Letta, the focus of Jennifer Baker's thoughtful debut "Forgive Me Not," has made a mistake that feels unforgivable. After getting drunk one night, she went for a ride with little sister Viv and got into an accident that killed Viv. Now, Letta's only hope of gaining her family's forgiveness is to participate in the Trials, a form of rehabilitation for juvenile offenders that helps offenders earn the forgiveness of their victims by participating in daunting activities. As Letta faces her Trials head-on, convinced that her determination can earn back her family's love, she begins to question the intentions behind the Trials, their devastating effects on offenders, and how society determines who is deserving of forgiveness.
